With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. Now, “a Music City songwriting star” (Tennessean) and “in-demand songcrafter” (Billboard), he has earned cuts with Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and an outstanding 16 for Jason Aldean, including the superstar’s #1 songs – “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, along with Aldean’s 30th #1 at country radio “Whiskey Drink.” Signed to Aldean’s Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the sought-after, powerhouse artist has made his Grand Ole Opry debut and logged hours on the road opening for Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green, Nate Smith, Jameson Rodgers and more. Now, his party starter smash “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” is his first #1 at country radio as an artist, while he’s racked up four #1s as a writer. The Tennessean praised the hit as a “live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core.” Featuring his latest country radio single “Kid Myself,” John Morgan’s highly anticipated debut album, Carolina Blue, is available now. In celebration of his #1 hit song “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean),” catch him on his headlining 2025 “Friends Like That” Tour, kicking off this fall.
