Morgan heads NRA fest

Friday, April 15, 2011 – Craig Morgan will headline the first annual NRA Country Jam on Friday, April 29 in Pittsburgh.

Sarah Darling and Due West will open the show.

A former service member and active supporter of the U.S. military, Morgan, together with NRA Country and Bushnell, designated a portion of the proceeds from the NRA Country Jam to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation. Founded by Iraq veteran Major Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of U.S. military service members killed or disabled during service. Since its founding in 2007, the foundation has generated more than $9.8 million for post-secondary education scholarships.

"Not only are we going to give the fans a killer show at the first-ever NRA Country Jam," said Morgan, "it's also incredibly rewarding to be able to support Folds of Honor in honoring our service members and their families."

CD review - This Ole Boy Craig Morgan likes to keep things simple. Once dubbed "country music's champion of the Everyman" he is best known best known for songs that espouse the core values of the genre: Faith ( That's What I Love About Sunday), good times, ( Redneck Yacht Club) and helping others ( Almost Home ). We get much of the same on "This Ole Boy," his first new music in three years and debut with Black River Entertainment. Disappointingly, the patriotism, religion and love ...
