In 2004, Morton completed a national tour as drummer with the American Idol band.
He spent two years as the drummer for Natalie Cole, toured with Chaka Khan, The Hippos, and Poe and performed with Madonna at the 2002 Grammy Awards.
"The bottom line is I hit things with sticks for a living, and that's a pretty fun job."
Morton and the House Band toured the United States with Paul Stanley (from KISS) in October/November 2006 as well as Australia in April 2007.
Those guys include guitarist Rafael Moreira, bassist Sasha Krivtsov, multi-instrumentalist Jim McGorman and keyboard player Paul Mirkovich, who is also the music director.
