In the heart of Nashville, one name stands tall in the world of country music – Craig Morgan. A true classic, Craig has carved his path to stardom with over 25 chart-topping hits, 1.5 billion career streams, and the ultimate accolade: induction into the Grand Ole Opry.
But Craig Morgan isn’t just a singer-songwriter from Nashville; he’s a genuine product of this city’s musical soil. Hailing from Kingston Springs, he witnessed legendary country artists weaving their tales right in his backyard. In Craig, we find the essence of “MY Nashville,” the embodiment of the passion and artistry that make this town what it is. Nashville is where country singers and songwriters are destined to thrive.
With iconic songs like “Redneck Yacht Club,” “International Harvester,” and “This Ole Boy” to his credit, Craig has been a shaping force in the country music landscape. However, he humbly attributes his success to divine guidance, as he shares in an exclusive interview with our Publisher. “We can’t do God’s work,” he reflects, “Only God can do God’s work, and I just try to see where he’s working. Every chance I get, and to be a part of it… Every time I think that I should be doing something else, God… tells me that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
Before his rise as a country music star and television sensation, Morgan dedicated seventeen years of his life to the Army and Army Reserve. A true patriot, his commitment to serving his country shines through as he expresses, “I really enjoy writing music, touring, and entertainment, but nothing has ever made me feel as accomplished as being in the United States Army and feeling like I’m a part of something that is so much greater than myself.”
In a remarkable moment, on July 29, 2023, Craig Morgan surprised a Grand Ole Opry crowd with a jaw-dropping enlistment and swearing-in ceremony into the U.S. Army Reserve, right on the famed stage. “The military is in need,” Craig emphasizes regarding why he chose to make this pivotal step a public spectacle. “And hopefully, this will encourage people. That if I can do it while I’m in this career, anyone can do it.” He looks forward to continuing his career in music while serving his country, emphasizing that “the military is in need, now more than ever.”
The year 2023 has been a flourishing chapter in Craig’s career as he wrapped up his “God, Family, Country 2023” tour, in collaboration with Operation Finally Home. He also unveiled a new EP, aptly named “Enlisted,” with Broken Bow Records. This record features reimagined renditions of his classic hits, accompanied by fresh tracks, with a star-studded cast that includes Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, and Blake Shelton. Craig’s mission is simple, as he puts it, “In everything I do, I just try to have a positive impact, show love, and passion.”
For Craig Morgan, life revolves around three core values: God, family, and country. He wholeheartedly attributes all his achievements, both the highs and the lows, to God’s grand design. In essence, he personifies the spirit of Nashville itself. We’re thrilled to share this exclusive interview, offering a glimpse into the life and soul of a true Nashville legend.
