LORRIE MORGAN TAKES SHOW ABROAD


Triumphant Return To Europe
Lorrie Performs Overseas For First Time In A Decade--6 Shows In 5 Countries

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 25, 2011)—ANR recording artist Lorrie Morgan, who is a sought-after, multi-talented entertainer on stages worldwide, has just returned from two stints in Europe. Marking the first time in nearly ten years, Morgan and crew traveled overseas to share her musical collection with some of her closest international fans.

“After ten years, I couldn’t wait to get back. The people and sights are just as beautiful as I remember. …And it’s breathtaking to see folks from all walks of life sing the lyrics to my songs while I’m performing. Country music is truly a universal language that speaks to all,” Lorrie gushed. “I’m already talking to promoters about returning next summer.”

The beginning of summer found Morgan in Germany for two consecutive shows in late June at Four Corners Music Hall in Untermeitingen, an hour just outside of Munich. The June journey then led her through the mountains and countryside to Interlaken, Switzerland where she appeared at the 3-day annual Trucker & Country Festival. Performing on an indoor stage at the bottom of the Swiss Alps, Morgan entertained the venue’s full capacity--4,500 attendees.



Concluding the first leg of her European tour, her itinerary changed direction toward Italy where she performed at Cowboy Ranch located in Voghera, in close proximity to Milan. Morgan then returned to the U.S. to appear in back-to-back shows stateside before heading overseas once more in August.

Just a few short weeks ago, Morgan appeared in Silkeborg, Denmark at the SCC Country Music Festival. At the finale of the night’s performance, Morgan jet-set to the Scandinavian Country Fair in Furuvik, Sweden where she performed the very next day.

Having just returned to the States, Morgan’s momentum continues. A true-blue road warrior, Lorrie is now gearing up for her Fall schedule which will once again take her cross country from the Dakotas to Wyoming and Montana, then back to the Midwest in Indiana before heading southward toward home to perform in Kentucky, Texas and her home state of Tennessee. She’ll wrap the 2011 tour season with dates in Alaska for a handful of dates after which she’ll headline shows up and down the East coast.

In the meantime, Lorrie is preparing to release Beyond the Interview: Lorrie Morgan (ANR Records), a boxed set which features a documentary video with appearances by family, friends and industry peers, and some of Lorrie's all-time personal musical favorites. The boxed set is scheduled for a late Fall 2011 release.
