Morgan Evans

Singer/songwriter Morgan Evans began his professional career in his native Australia in 2012, releasing his eponymous debut album in 2014. His sleek country-pop found a wider audience in 2017, after he signed an international record deal that led to the release of 2018's Things That We Drink To, and its hit single "Kiss Somebody." Back home, Evans won an ARIA Award for Best Country Album, while in the U.S. it found its way into the Top Ten of Billboard's Country chart. He reached the Top 50 of the Country Airplay chart with "Love Is Real" off The Country and the Coast (Side A) EP, and returned to the chart in 2023 with the poignant single "Over for You," off the Life Upside Down EP. Evans marked a homecoming with 2024's Live at the Sydney Opera House. Born in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia on April 24, 1985, Evans started playing music early on, inspired by fellow Australian country star Keith Urban. He formed his first band when he was 13 years old, and rose to prominence when he won the 2007 edition of the competition Telstra Road to Tamworth. Following his victory, he released his first single, "Big Skies," in September 2007. By 2012, he'd signed with the Australasia branch of Warner Music, releasing the EP Live Each Day in January of that year, quickly followed by While We're Young that August. Evans' profile continued to rise as he took supporting roles on notable tours, including Alan Jackson, and Taylor Swift's Australian tour supporting her album Red. Evans recorded his eponymous debut with producer Jedd Hughes in Nashville, Tennessee. Arriving in March 2014, Morgan Evans would top the Australian country charts and reach 20 on its pop albums chart, thanks to the singles "One Eye for an Eye" and "Like a Tornado." Evans' next move was the international market. The album also helped him garner a number of Country Music Channel Awards in 2014, including Oz Artist of the Year, and his burgeoning fame led to several television appearances, including host the 2016 CMC Music Awards with American country star Kelsea Ballerini; the pair subsequently became romantically involved and later married. In 2015, Evans moved to Nashville and began working with producer Chris DeStefano on his first album designed for an international market. 2017's "Kiss Somebody" found traction in the U.S. and, along with "Day Drunk," helped send his sophomore album, Things That We Drink To, to number nine on the Billboard country chart. Back in Australia, it fared even better, hitting number five on the pop chart and taking home an ARIA Award. After the 2019 standalone single "Diamonds," Evans kicked off a new project with the 2021 EP The Country and the Coast (Side A). In late 2022, following his divorce from Ballerini, he issued the heartbroken ballad "Over for You," as the first single off his 2023 EP, Life Upside Down. The singer's first ever concert album, Live at the Sydney Opera House, arrived in April 2024.
