CMA DOUBLE NOMINEE MEGAN MORONEY WRAPS WEEK OF FIRSTS IN L.A. WITH LATE-NIGHT TV DEBUT, GRAMMY MUSEUM® PERFORMANCE, AND SOLD-OUT

PLATINUM artist-songwriter Megan Moroney is in her LUCKY era as she wraps a week in Los Angeles complete with a media blitz of bucket-list firsts.

Kicking off last Tuesday (10/10), Moroney appeared at The GRAMMY Museum® in Los Angeles as part of its illustrious SPOTLIGHT series. Held at the museum’s Clive Davis Theater, the SOLD-OUT event featured an intimate conversation (moderated by her producer Kristian Bush) about Moroney’s music, creative process, and more. The discussion opened to an audience Q&A, sparking a series of heart first questions about her songs and her life, alongside asks to take selfies and appear in a fan’s BeReal. Moroney closed out the night with a six-song set during which she performed “Why Johnny” and unreleased track “No Caller ID” solo acoustic. 

Moroney then brought the star power on Wednesday (10/11) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!  as she “dazzles on stage” (iHeart Country) performing her first No. 1 single, “Tennessee Orange” in a custom gold dress for her anticipated late-night TV debut.

Finishing off the week, she commanded the iconic Troubadour Friday night (10/13) as part of her SOLD-OUT THE LUCKY TOUR. Performing every song off her debut album LUCKY (Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records), the packed crowd went wild to fan-favorites such as show-opener “Another on the Way,” “Traitor Joe,” current chart-rising single “I’m Not Pretty,” plus the brand-new track “Nothin’ Crazy,” off her newly released LUCKY (DELUXE EDITION) as well as a cover of Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

“This is my first show in L.A. and you all show up like this,” Moroney reflected from stage. “I know it takes a lot for you to get here tonight… you made signs, bought outfits, Ubers, and drinks. And it means so much. You are making a Georgia girl feel real loved.”

Following a massive sing-along to “Tennessee Orange,” the star on the rise left fans wanting more after closing the night with “Lucky.”

The weekend continued with California stops in Bakersfield (10/14) and Golden Sky Festival in Sacramento. Upcoming dates on THE LUCKY TOUR include Denver, CO (10/19), Salt Lake City, UT (10/20), and Grand Junction, CO (10/21). For all tour dates and ticket information, click here.

ABOUT MEGAN MORONEY:
Country newcomer with massive staying power, Megan Moroney is strong-minded, sensitive, and fiercely devoted to speaking her truth. As a teenager in Georgia, she first honed her gorgeously gritty vocal style by singing covers with her dad and brother, then took up guitar at age 16. Although she started off studying accounting at the University of Georgia, Moroney’s entire trajectory changed after opening for Chase Rice at the famed Georgia Theatre her freshman year — a turn of events that found her penning her first-ever original song and discovering the dazzling specificity and down-to-earth honesty that now define her music. In July 2022 she offered a first glimpse at the full-force personality of her songwriting with the Pistol Made of Roses EP, inspiring CMT to praise her as a “musical risk taker with powerhouse pipes.” As her career gained unstoppable momentum, she next delivered her breakout single “Tennessee Orange”: an immediate smash that soon led to her signing with Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records, in addition to notching her first No. 1 at Country radio and earning RIAA PLATINUM certification. Named a “2023 Artist to Watch” by the likes of Amazon Music, Pandora, and Spotify, as well as an iHeart "On The Verge" Artist and one of CMT’s Next Women of Country for 2023, Moroney released her debut album LUCKY in May and quickly drew major acclaim for the lived-in intimacy, fearless truth-telling, electrifying impact of her songwriting. With her avalanche of accolades including winning BREAKTHROUGH FEMALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR at the CMT Music Awards, she made her debut appearance on NBC’s TODAY and kicked off her first headline run with the sold-out PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR. After opening for Country legends Brooks & Dunn this summer, Moroney has embarked on her sold-out THE LUCKY TOUR for this fall bringing her magnetic live show to iconic venues across the U.S. — all while continuing a meteoric rise that now includes nearly 600 MILLION total global streams to date.
