Morris announces tour
Morris will tour behind her upcoming release, "Humble Quest," which drops March 25 on Sony Music Nashville's Columbia Nashville imprint. Morris has shared two singles — "Circles Around This Town " and "Background Music."
Opening acts include Brent Cobb, Joy Oladokun, Natalie Hemby Ruston Kelly and Lone Below.
Morris began writing the songs on "Humble Quest" in the beginning of the pandemic as a series of major life changes unfolded—new motherhood, an upended career and the death of friend and collaborator Michael Busbee. She felt control over life quickly slipping until she had an epiphany—she was never in control in the first place. This inspired her to reckon with the concept of humility as she thought about how the goal of appearing humble puts artists, especially women, in a box with unrealistic demands. "Humble Quest" documents Morris' journey to redefining humility on her own terms instead of appearing authentic to others.
Produced by frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin (Adele, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters), Morris wrote songs with her husband Ryan Hurd, Julia Michaels, Jimmy Robbins, Natalie Hemby, Laura Veltz and Jon Green on Busbee's piano.
