“showcases Morgan at his absolute best…could be one of the most celebrated country albums of the year” – All Country News

“Carolina Blue is a star-maker…a studied, hit-laden road to Nashville country stardom” – Tennessean
“Beyond ‘Friends Like That,’ other highlights on the album include the ode to his Carolina roots in the title track, as well as a mix vulnerable songs and up-tempo grooves including the rural anthem ‘Long Ride Home,’ ‘One More Sunset,’ and the breezy, romantic ‘I Know Better,’ and the introspective ‘Kid Myself.’” – Billboard

WATCH HIS BILLBOARD LIVE EPISODE HERE
Lauded as an “in-demand songcrafter” (Billboard), an “accomplished songwriter” (People) and a “Music City Songwriting Star” (Tennessean), the boldly gritty North Carolinian will deliver a tantalizingly robust 12-track debut, proving his preeminence as an dynamically versatile artist ready to takeover the country music scene. A brilliantly curated collection of songs, the authentically humble and tenaciously driven powerhouse artist not only co-wrote every track and played every guitar, but he also co-produced it alongside Brent Anderson.
With “stadium-ready written all over him” (All Country News), the compelling entertainer who exudes “undeniable star power” (Country Swag) will make his Stagecoach Festival debut this Friday (4/25), before hitting the road to open for Kane Brown, Old Dominion and Riley Green on select dates this summer.
