Description

The Houston Press once posed the question “Ever see one of those acts that just blows your hair back?” Whether solo acoustic or in front of thousands with his band, Corb Lund’s enigmatic performances never fail to steal the show. Holding 12 studio albums under his belt, multiple CCMA, Juno, and International award nominations and wins, Corb Lund’s enduring music career is a force to be reckoned with. His seventh album, “Cabin Fever” debuted at #1 on the Billboard Canadian Charts. Three of his albums have been certified Gold by the Canadian RIA, while Things That Can’t be Undone - produced by Dave Cobb - cemented his status as one of the best Country singer-songwriters in the business. In Fall 2019, Corb Lund released Cover Your Tracks, an EP of some of his favorite tunes with guest vocals by Hayes Carll, Ian Tyson. His 2020 album Agricultural Tragic won is another CCMA award and his latest Songs My Friends Wrote will release in Spring 2022 with tour dates in the first half of the year. As many of his videos soar past 1 million views on YouTube, it's easy to see why Rolling Stone says Corb Lund is one of “10 Country Artists You Need to Know.” With her self-titled solo EP, Morrow has struck out on her own, debuting four songs that showcase her tender songwriting and inward-looking artistic vision." - Rolling Stone "Lauren Morrow—known best as one-half of Nashville-by-way-of-Atlanta duo Whiskey Gentry—puts lyrical fire behind a classic country sound on her four-song solo debut." - Garden & Gun "As she starts a new era of her career, she needs something to advantageously represent herself that isn’t The Whiskey Gentry, and this is what she accomplishes with these four songs. But most importantly, these four songs are really good." - Saving Country Music ......................... After over a decade as the centerpiece of popular Americana band The Whiskey Gentry, Lauren Morrow packed her bags, her dogs, her cats, and husband and moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a solo artist and grow her craft as a songwriter and performer. Within months, she released her first solo EP to widespread critical acclaim and landed on many Best Of year ends lists from Rolling Stone to Garden & Gun, quickly launching her already budding career and sending it into hyperdrive. Over the next year, Morrow filmed an episode for PBS’ Bluegrass Underground and toured the US playing festivals such as Pickathon and Bristol Rhythm & Roots to name a few. Morrow recently wrapped recording her first solo, full-length album at the legendary Nashville studio, Sound Emporium. Mixed by Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White, Phish) and Jaquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Shania Twain) set to release in 2022, Morrow’s new album showcases her flawless vocals and intricate songwriting, but also her willingness to take risks — an edge that makes her stand out from the Nashville norm. Whether she’s singing an alternative/indie rock banger, a classic-country cooner, or a traditional lovesick ballad, there’s a unique impression she leaves that lingers and is unlike anything you’ve heard before.
