“I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to play massive arenas in front of thousands upon thousands of people but there is something really special about these smaller, intimate shows where I’m sitting onstage with my guitar and sharing stories from my heart,” said Craig. “I’m bringing out guests and we’re talking and singing and telling stories about our country and God and family and all the things that are important to us.”

Named Operation FINALLY HOME’s 2017 Ambassador, Craig has partnered with the national non-profit to provide mortgage-free homes to veterans and their families from select dates during his 2017 tour.

Declared “a mature record that, while not afraid to have a little fun, values poignancy over pop country,” (Rolling Stone Country) Morgan’s newest album A Whole Lot More To Me is available now and the eighth season of his award-winning TV series Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors will debut on Outdoor Channel this summer.
