PAOLI – Country singer songwriter Craig Morgan will perform at Castle Knoll Amphitheater May 17 with special guest BlackHawk.
Morgan scored his first Top 10 hit in 2002 with “Almost Home,” a heartfelt song about a homeless man. Since then he has amassed nearly 2.5 billion career streams and charted more that 25 songs on Billboard with signature hits including “Bonfire,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” “International Harvester,” “This Ole Boy,” “Soldier,” and the multi-week No. 1, “That’s What I Love About Sunday.”
In 2023, Craig released his newest project, Enlisted, a six-song collection of reimagined hits and brand-new songs featuring collaborations with Trace Adkins, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Gary LeVox, Blake Shelton and Lainey Wilson.
“We’re thrilled to present Craig Morgan as part of our second concert season at Castle Knoll Amphitheater. Fans of Craig’s know he always brings it and puts on an inspiring and entertaining show,” said Heath Eric, promoter of the venue with The Eric Group. “We’ve worked with Craig numerous times, and simply put, he’s one of the best out there doing it. This will undoubtedly be a highlight of our 2025 season. Add in BlackHawk, and this event may be THE Country Music Concert of the season in southern Indiana.”
A member of the Grand Ole Opry, before he became a country music star, Morgan served 17 years in the US Army and Army Reserve and remains committed to supporting active duty and veteran members of the military through work with Operation Finally Home and the USO.
Known for their unique harmonies, BlackHawk has sold more than 7 million albums, scored some of the most distinctive country radio hits of the ‘90s, and still draws tens of thousands of fans to their live performances.
