ABOUT CRAIG MORGAN:

Singer, author, actor, and soldier Craig Morgan has made a name for himself as a country music hitmaker who has amassed nearly 2.5 billion career streams and charted over 25 songs on Billboard. With signature hits including “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Almost Home,” “International Harvester,” “Soldier,” “That's What I Love About Sunday,” and his faith-filled tribute, “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost,” the multi-faceted entertainer’s music has formed the soundtrack to our lives for over two decades. His new music, American Soundtrack (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville), is no exception, with each of the EP’s six songs infused with Craig’s faith and patriotism.

Craig received one of country music's highest honors when he was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. Prior to becoming a country music star and TV sensation, Craig spent seventeen years serving our country in the Army and Army Reserve and in 2023 enlisted again in the Army Reserve, continuing his military career as a Warrant Officer. He remains an avid supporter of America's military personnel and has made more than sixteen overseas trips to perform for our troops. Craig is a member of the U.S. Field Artillery Hall of Fame and recipient of the USO Merit Award. In 2018, he was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian, in recognition of his significant dedication to our military men and women around the world. He remains committed to supporting active duty and veteran members of our military through work with Operation Finally Home, the USO and more.  

 

His emotional and inspiring memoir - God, Family, Country – is available now. In the book, Craig details all aspects from his inspiring life, revealing never-before-heard stories including the impetus behind his recent enlistment in the Army Reserve, how he worked alongside the CIA as a soldier in Panama, fought sex traffickers as an undercover agent in Thailand, forged his own path to country music stardom, and lives his life by the deepest values: God, family, country.  

 

ABOUT SORELLE:

Madi, Ana and Bella are singing sisters from Lexington, Ohio. From a very young age, the moment their toes touched the floor in the morning, their synchronized voices could be heard throughout their home - pure, spontaneous and in perfect harmony. At 10 and 12 years old, Madi and Ana gained recognition when they performed the national anthem at the Cleveland Cavaliers' opening game. Soon, it became three times the fun when baby sister Bella officially joined the group. The trio then established themselves as Sorelle - the name deriving from the Italian word for sister. Their original music has won them three PopSmash Music Awards and built an audience of 3.2 million followers on TikTok who tune in for their daily posts and weekly broadcasts.

 

ABOUT PHIL DIRT & THE DOZERS:

Phil Dirt & The Dozers will transport you to another time and place, the classic Rock 'n Roll of America's golden years. The Dozers perform the intricate vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys, Four Seasons, the Eagles and many more to perfection.

The show is performed absolutely live with a sophisticated yet lighthearted approach that creates an atmosphere all age ranges will enjoy. This is an amazingly talented group of musicians, yet very humble, professional, and dare we say, charming?
