Morgan Wade

With a commanding voice -- raspy and earthy yet bearing bruises and scars that convey vulnerability -- Morgan Wade cut a striking figure when she emerged with her debut album, Reckless, in 2021. Pitched partway between Americana and arena rock -- a distance she navigated with collaborator Sadler Vaden, the guitarist in Jason Isbell's 400 Unit -- Wade blended her influences in a distinctive, emotionally candid way. Her second album, Psychopath, appeared in 2023. A native of the small Appalachian town of Floyd, Virginia, Morgan Wade was drawn to music as a child. She wrote songs in secret, never attempting a public performance until she was 19, after she suffered a breakup during her freshman year at Roanoke's Jefferson College of Health Sciences in 2013. Assembling a band via Craigslist, Wade cut her teeth performing in Virginia, eventually getting sober by the time she led her supporting group the Stepbrothers through the Puppets with My Heart album in 2018. Not long afterward, she received a lucky break. Wade played her hometown FloydFest in 2018, joining a roster that included Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit. There, she met Isbell's guitar tech, who gave one of her CDs to Sadler Vaden, the guitarist in the 400 Unit. The pair started a collaboration, adding Paul Ebersold as co-producer, and worked on material for an album. Her single "The Night" appeared in 2019, followed by "Don't Cry" in 2020, with the Billboard-charting full-length debut Reckless arriving on Thirty Tigers in early 2021. Wade kicked off 2022 with the single "Run," which appeared on a deluxe, extended edition of Reckless. Later that year, she released the Acoustic Sessions EP. After ending the year with a two-part single, "The Night," Wade kicked off her next album cycle with "Psychopath," the title cut from her second LP which arrived in August 2023. Psychopath reached number six on the Heatseekers chart thanks to strong follow-up singles like "Fall in Love with Me" and "80's Movie." Her first release in 2024 was the stripped-down "2AM in London."
