After being a professional musician for many years, Greta Morgan was on the rise and ready to step fully into her place in the music world. She’d travelled the world as a touring member of Vampire Weekend, had collaborated with Jenny Lewis, and had garnered critical acclaim with her own musical projects. But days after playing a gig in March 2020, just as the world began to shut down due to the global pandemic, she contracted a serious case of COVID-19. Subsequently, she discovered that her voice was forever changed.
In her profound and moving memoir 
THE LOST VOICE
, musician and songwriter 
Greta Morgan
 takes readers on a deeply personal journey of developing her voice as an artist and the loss of that singing voice as a result of spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder with no known cure.
With her once crystalline voice now reduced to a hush, she saw her promising career come to a standstill. Morgan takes us on a tour of the intimate highs and lows of both her vibrant musical career and her personal life, from sharing the stage with Vampire Weekend to facing unimaginable personal and medical hurdles. As spasmodic dysphonia literally made the words catch in her throat, she came to realize that speaking her truth had always been a struggle. Ironically, the act of losing her voice became the catalyst for expressing her most authentic self.
In The Lost Voice, you’ll travel with Greta while she’s on tour with Vampire Weekend and living a working musician’s life in Los Angeles, then travel back to her childhood home in Chicago, IL. and join her for her first shows in suburban basements, you’ll follow her through the dangerous terrain of the red-rock wilderness of Utah and other parts of the Southwest plateau where she grapples with the loss of her voice, and eventually come to the Catskills in New York where she seeks vocal recovery.
Exploring the purpose of creativity itself and the definition of artistic passion, Greta discovers how to broaden her artistic horizons and reimagine her sense of identity. Throughout it all, she maintains an unwavering dedication to her craft, and learns to transform her ordeal into an opportunity, find self-acceptance and discover an inner resilience she had not known before.
Morgan’s narrative serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of music, the ability to adapt to our circumstances, and the unexpected connection between grief and aliveness. The Lost Voice is a raw and intimate portrait of loss, self-discovery, and an artist’s choice to keep living and creating.
Greta Morgan
 is a musician, songwriter, and storyteller who began her career at age 16 and has since performed worldwide. She was a touring member of Vampire Weekend, accompanied Jenny Lewis, and has released eight records fronting her own projects: Springtime Carnivore, Gold Motel, and The Hush Sound. She has stopped performing for the time being to focus on Long Covid recovery, which affected both her voice and body. She now lives in the Hudson Valley, where she leads a slow life of creek swimming, stargazing, meditating, writing, composing, and teaching. She leads long-form online songwriting and creativity workshops that focus on helping writers access their truest voices. The Lost Voice is her first book.  Find her on Instagram @gretamorgan and learn more at https://www.gretamorganmusic.com/.
