From Grammy Camp To Grammy Winner

... Idol - but now contestants are singing your songs on those shows. Do you feel vindicated. Oh yeah, it's very gratifying! It means someone loves my song enough to work it up for their audition. That's very cool. But I'm honestly so thankful that I didn't make it onto any of those shows. There's just so many of them now. I think The Voice is on season 40 already. And now you have a Grammy! What do you remember of that night. Oh, it's still weird. I'm still reeling. It just felt like such a triumph because it was my first try - my first album on a major label. No-one can describe it, your first Grammy. It's something you practice in the mirror when you're seven years old but when you get to that day, there's so many emotions, so many people around you. It's hard to articulate but it's just the most amazing feeling. You won for My Church, ...

Chris Stapleton And Maren Morris May Change Your Mind About Country Music

... Lil Wayne in his pickup — but where Morris differs is that she does so un-self-consciously. She’s not deliberately pushing against the established bounds of the music or attempting some sort of pan-genre outreach to nonconverts — even though that’s the exact effect her music has had. The 26-year-old’s voice is lithe and strong, emotive and off-handed. Sometimes she tosses off her words like she was flicking away a spent cigarette butt, singin’ of cussin’ on Sundays, drinkin’ too much and carin’ too little, a 100-proof mix of abandon and regret, fun and its morning-after fallout. Like Stapleton, she’s both Nashville insider and outsider. Speaking to the former, she’s already been announced as the Academy of Country Music Awards’ New Female Vocalist of the Year two weeks prior to the awards ceremony, this after being nominated for four Grammys this ...

How She Wrote 'how It's Done

... March 30, 2017 9:17 PM. Filed Under: Maren Morris. By Heather Stas and Brian Ives. Maren Morris has already won one ACM Award this year: it was announced that she is the winner of Best New Female Vocalist. She’s also up for Best Female Vocalist, Single Record of the Year (for “ My Church “) and Album of the Year (for Hero ). Hero has yielded a pair of hit singles—”My Church” and “’80 s Mercedes”—but the album is filled with great songs, including “How It’s Done.” And, as she recently told __link__, to get the song done, she had to press her producer to let her finish it. Happily, her intuition won the day. “I had this line, ‘Let me show you how it’s done.’ And I wanted it to be sort of a love song, but a sexy love song and not take itself too seriously. But my friend and co-writer ...

Maren Morris Brought The Spirit Of Texas Country To Pop Music At House Of Blues And Gruene Hall

... place out. I've been wanting to play here since I was a little girl," Morris said at one point on Saturday night at the show in New Braunfels. "I've wanted to play — I've wanted to headline — this place for a long time, over a decade. As a Texas girl, this is on my bucket list.". There's room for debate about just how country Morris' music really is. Nashville has certainly embraced the Arlington native, who turns 27 in two weeks, having bestowed her with the Best New Artist honors at both the CMA and ACM awards (the latter of which hasn't taken place yet, but she's already won the award). Still, her sound is too pop, too R&B to pass the smell test for some country puritans, of which there are many. But one thing is beyond dispute: Morris is a Texas country girl, through and through. Her drinkin', cussin', shit-talkin' ...

Maren Morris On Her First Headlining Tour & Returning To Texas After Winning A Grammy

... March 23 through March 25, hitting Dallas, Houston and Gruene Hall, Texas' oldest dance hall located in New Braunfels. She'll officially finish out the trek with two final performances at Nashville's Cannery Ballroom on April 4 and 5. Ahead of the weekend, which Morris sees as a "positive and powerful" homecoming, Billboard chatted with the rising country star about her whirlwind success, what she's taken away from it, and how it feels to be a Grammy winner - and taking that title back home. How does it feel to be able to say you’re a Grammy winner. I think just being nominated, getting to go for the first time and having the chance to perform as a new artist on the show is already so many amazing things packed into that week. But getting to accept my first Grammy, and my mom being my date, ever since then I feel. I mean, I was already validated just being nominated, but when you walk away with some hardware, I think you stand a little taller. You've called “My ...
