Craig Morgan

event schedule

There are certain milestones in an artist's career that would seem to inspire a moment of reflection. Yet as Craig Morgan looks back on what he’s accomplished since releasing his first album in 2000, the singer/songwriter has a surprising reaction when asked for his thoughts on his decade-long run. Total shock.

As an artist, he's been a mainstay on the charts with an impressive body of work that includes fourteen Top Ten hits -- including fan-favorites "Redneck Yacht Club," "Almost Home," "That's What I Love About Sunday," and "Tough." As a performer, he's entertained countless fans in every corner of the globe. And as a country star, he's reached what many consider the pinnacle of his profession when on a cool October evening in 2008 he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Yet despite not only surviving but thriving for over a decade in a cut-throat industry that is known for chewing up and spitting out talent, Craig Morgan is an artist who is still humble, hopeful, and hungry to continue making his mark in country music.

Having made the initial choice to steer clear of a career in music, Morgan racked up a working-man's resume taking on work as an EMT, a contractor, a sheriff's deputy, and a Wal-Mart assistant dairy manager. Additionally, he is extremely proud of his nearly two decades of service to our U.S. military, including over ten years of active duty serving in the Army's 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, followed by another nine years in the Reserves serving well into his music career.  

Since leaving the military, he's remained an enthusiastic supporter, travelling into some of the most dangerous places on earth to entertain our troops. "I was one of the first artists to go into Afghanistan," says Morgan. "Right after the invasion, they were still sweeping up glass in the Kandahar airport. I get to give those men and women a little piece of home. It really does make a difference."   

His schedule is packed with live shows, touring with Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes, Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins, and consistently sells out headlining dates. He is also a competitive dirt bike racer in the Mid-South Hare Scramble Series and, most importantly, a dedicated family man.  

And in 2010, Morgan didn't just put more on his plate. He added a new meal.  

Meet Craig Morgan. TV star. "Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors" is a 30-minute reality show that offers fans a fly on the wall look at Craig's extreme lifestyle at home, touring and in the great outdoors: hunting, aerial bow fishing, bungee jumping and skydiving.  

But the show is about much more than bucks, bows and bungee cords. It's also given Craig Morgan fans a front row seat for the roller coaster ride that is the music business.
