Multi #1 hit songwriter John Morgan is having a “Cold Summer in San Antone” with release of his latest wrecking-ball track, available everywhere today. Written by John with Ben Hayslip and producer Will Bundy, the brooding new song depicts the isolation and coldness a broken heart can inflict, even during the most brutally hot season in Texas. Listen HERE.
Returning to his “Sad Boy Country” roots – a pivot from his recent anthemic releases of “Man of Few Words,” “Sorry Not Sorry” that Country Now praised as a “back-road anthem,” and the party starter “Friends Like That” that has earned over 8.5M on-demand streams and is racking in over 832k per week – “Morgan is standing apart from the rest of the Country crowd as he brings a more traditional Country flair to the Pop-Country sounds of today’s genre” (Songwriter Universe).
Having just made his Grand Ole Opry debut, John will return on August 18 for the “Opry Plaza Summer Concert Series Powered by Whiskey Jam.” Watch HERE for a special, behind-the-scenes look into his Opry debut.
Up next – John will head out on the road with Riley Green, ERNEST and Jameson Rodgers, hit renowned music festivals such as Headwaters Country Jam, Utah’s Country Fan Fest, WE Fest, Voices of America Country Music Festival and Tidalwave Music Festival, and release even more new music later this year.

About John Morgan:
With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to Country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in Bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. More than a year after selling everything he had to follow his dream, an only-in-Nashville story involving Uber drivers and impressive demos led to a writing session with Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy—two incredible songwriters and longtime bandmates of Country superstar Jason Aldean. That session led to the superstar cutting eight songs written by John, including his recent No. 1 “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated ACM Single of the Year No. 1 smash hit with Carrie Underwood, “If I Didn’t Love You,” and Aldean signing John to Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group. The sought-after songwriter has released a slew of “Sad Boy Country” songs including his latest “Cold Summer in San Antone,” “Coldest Beer in Town,” “Right In The Middle,” and “Good With Goodbye.” Having just wrapped Aldean’s Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour and made his Grand Ole Opry debut, John pivots from heartbreak to party starter territory, dropping the anthemic “Friends Like That,” unapologetic “Sorry Not Sorry” and the confident “Man of Few Words,” with more new music coming soon.
