Many country music artists have made the transition from Australia to Nashville, but few have done so with as much passion and sincerity as Craig Morrison. As he embarks on his radio tour in support of his debut album, Fences, he is catching a glimpse of America and being embraced by country music fans. Excited about this new journey, he comments, “I’m enjoying the experience of getting out there and meeting everybody.”

The title cut, “Fences” is already a Top 5 hit on the Australian Country Music Tracks chart and is gaining ground here. It was actually the first tune he selected for the album. The song’s message is a very personal one since he was facing a huge hurdle himself - making the move to the United States.

With the help of Grammy Award nominated producer, Mark Moffett, he began the process of creating an album that would appeal to a worldwide audience. They selected three of Craig’s self-penned songs, two entitled “Reminisce” and “Doin’ Country,” which he wrote with his wife, Nichole. They then turned to writers such as Robert Ellis Orral and Jessi Leigh Alexander for top-shelf material, giving the project a style and depth that is truly Craig Morrison.

One special song, “Love You More,” conveys the importance of expressing our feelings to those we love, but it has an even deeper meaning to Craig. Recently volunteering for “Musicians On Call” at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, he met an elderly lady who was once a singer herself. He serenaded her with an acoustic version of “Love You More” which brought a smile to her face that he will never forget. She died shortly thereafter, but the memory remains, as he recalls, “It just made me feel so emotional.” For Craig, those moments are what it’s all about. When asked what he wants fans to know about him, he simply comments, “I’m an entertainer, and I’m here for them.”

Craig Morrison has a passion for music and a heart to bless people - that is a winning combination!

Welcome to Nashville!
