Australian-born artist currently visiting radio stations in support of new single, “Fences”
(Nashville, Tenn. – July 9, 2012) Australian-born Country artist Craig Morrison continues to receive positive feedback from critics and reviewers in response to his self-titled U.S. album release and debut single, “Fences.”
Billboard.com and Music News Nashville’s Chuck Dauphin says, “There’s a lot to like when it comes to the debut disc from Australia native Craig Morrison. His album is full of deep and thoughtful lyrics, guitar riffs and some very fine guitar hooks throughout this disc. He’s got the vocal chops, the instrumental skills and the confidence.”
Produced by Grammy-nominated record producer Mark Moffatt, “Fences” is Morrison’s debut single release in the U.S. An accomplished and award-winning artist back home in Australia, the Sydney native moved to Nashville in 2011. The self-titled project was released May 1 in the States through Morrison’s own Lucky 53s label and Nashville-based digital record label GMV Nashville.
Morrison has been on the road visiting radio stations for the past several weeks in support of “Fences,” which shot into the Top 5 of the Australian Country Tracks chart earlier this year.
“I’m doing as many radio tours as I can right now, which I think is very important,” Morrison told Country website Nashville Love last month during CMA Music Festival. “I want people to get to know me, then they can understand my music more as well. I just want to have that opportunity to get out and meet people.”
In 2012, Morrison became a volunteer artist with the Nashville branch of Musicians On Call, a national, non-profit organization that provides musical entertainment to patients in local hospital facilities.
