Maren Morris in Concert
Maren Morris makes it clear that she isn't overly concerned with country music convention — she freely flouts the "rules" all the time. Her onstage image screams out "pop star" more than it evokes a traditional country persona, and her hits like "80s Mercedes," "I Could Use a Love Song," and "The Middle" have as much to do with Morris' pop and rock influences as they do with her lifelong obsession with country music. The electricity she projects onstage transcends genre, though, and so does her audience, making Morris a true crossover artist. Just as she started off her career with a couple of indie releases, she spent her first couple of tours as a supporting act, first on Keith Urban's Ripcord World Tour in 2016 and then Sam Hunt's 15 in a 30 Tour the following year. But after her Grammy, CMA, and ACM award wins in 2017 she emerged as a full-blown star in her own right, and that year she celebrated by embarking on her first-ever headlining road trip, The Hero Tour.
Maren Morris Background
Born in Arlington, Texas, Morris started playing music when she was 12 years old, and by the time she was 15 the precocious country singer/songwriter had her own indie album out. After a couple more records released on her own, Morris was picked up by Columbia Nashville, who released her self-titled debut EP in 2015. The next year, her ‘Hero' album arrived with the force of a hurricane, containing the Platinum-selling "My Church" and the Gold singles "80s Mercedes" and "I Could Use a Love Song," all of which parlayed her pop savvy perfectly into a country context. Not only did the album hit the top spot on the country charts, its surplus of pop hooks made it a No. 5 pop album, too. A 2018 collaboration with producer Zedd and the duo Grey on the single "The Middle" pushed Morris' profile further beyond country, giving her a smash pop single. Along the way, Morris has found success as a songwriter for others, too, contributing compositions to albums by hitmakers like Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, and The Brothers Osborne.
Maren Morris on Tour
Grammy-winning artist Maren Morris embarks on "RSVP: The Tour" in 2020 throughout North America, including festival dates at Governors Ball Music Festival and Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience and headline stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Colorado's storied Red Rocks Amphitheatre and many more. Supporting acts James Arthur, Ryan Hurd and Caitlyn Smith are confirmed for select dates. The tour kicks off in June following Maren's headlining appearance at the Houston Rodeo on March 7, 2020, her biggest show to date.
She has had consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for Maren's song "The Bones," making it the first solo female back-to-back #1 since 2012 and her fourth #1 single to date. It also marks the first solo female Billboard country #1 since her single "GIRL" topped the chart last summer. In addition, Morris recently appeared on the 50th season of "Sesame Street" in an episode titled "Let's Draw"—watch here.
2019 was a monumental year for the singer songwriter who took home Album of the Year at the 53rd Annual Country Music Association Awards, where she was the most nominated artist. Her record shattering album GIRL continues to receive widespread critical praise—Variety hailed it as "the best as well as most important mainstream country-star album of the year." GIRL was also featured amongst the Best of 2019 by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Esquire, GQ, People, Vice, Paste, Stereogum and Uproxx.
Over the course of her career, Maren Morris has played venues such as the Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix, Radio City Music Hall in NYC, and the Budweiser Stage in Toronto.
This was possibly the most chaotic concert i have ever been to. From all the special guest to the merch table to the Jack Daniel’s Christmas tree, everything was incredible!
Absolutely incredible show. Brittney Spencer and Ruston Kelly opened, and were both great. When Maren took the stage the crowd was electric. Her voice was the best id heard it. She belted out her hits and several new songs. The experience was jacked up by including several Music City surprises. Her husband Ryan Hurd sang on 4 or 5 songs. Kristin Chenoweth did a duet from Wicked with her. Hozier did her hit "Bones" live together. The Highwomen joined Maren for two hits. Absolutely fantastic night of top notch entertainment. Cant wait to see her again.
Awesome concert! My daughters first and she can't wait for next. Opening acts were amazing. And WOW... the guest appearances!!! I have been to several concerts over the years. This one was definetly one of the best!
We had good seats in the bottom tier and on the aisle. We could see the first act fine but once Maren Morris came on the entire 4 first tier sections stood up and never sat back down. People were also standing in the aisle so it was even difficult to get back to your seat if you left. Once they all stood we couldn't see a thing on the stage. We sat & watched the TV screens. After about 8 songs we left as we were sitting surrounded by all the people standing. I'm 5'3" & unless I stood on the seat couldn't see anything. My husband is 6'2" & still had trouble seeing plus due to medical issues can't stand for that long. Why pay for seats that are worthless? The people in the upper tiers stayed seated for the most part. Won't be back and have shared this info with our friends. Huge waste of money and time!
We had excellent seats 3rd row center. Maren was on point and was a fantastic set and concert. We have seen her many times over the years since we live in Dallas and travel to Nashville.
Maren Morris was a delight in both her performance and stage banter. She addressed the audience conversationally and made us feel part of her life. Her singing was impeccable, with her original music crossing several genres, including country, pop, rock, and R&B/soul. She did a rousing cover rendition of Fiona Apple's "Criminal."
Concert was very good. We had a great time. The venue however was GREAT. The bars had a good selection & a great selection of wine by the bottle. The food was normal for an event venue. All of the event staff were absolutely amazing. I will definitely look for other concerts at this venue.
I loved getting to see Maren! She put on a great show with a good setlist.
Nothing against Maren Morris I love her but the sound and the venue sucked. The band was louder then her and the venue decided to let the lawn people take open seats and so a lady started a fight with my sister when we tried to explain someone was already in the seats they wanted which caused my sister to have a panic attack and us having to leave early. Would have been nice if an usher was escorting the people looking for seats and an announcement that might have avoided the fight.
The lawn seats aren’t covered. The concert goes on as long as there’s no lightening. It was down pouring 2+ inches and they didn’t cancel but they sure got our money.
Maren Morris has a beautiful voice and is a great performer!! She played all our favorite songs!! My only complaint is the video production was off from the sound, so it made it appear like she was lip syncing (badly) when she really wasn’t. Also there was no signage of her name or tour on the video screen (or the opening act either). I’ve been to a lot of concerts at various venues this year and the production of this one was notably very basic.
First off. We purchased 3 tickets. The 2 we originally purchased we VIP for the toyota club. It was confusing what kind of tickets we purchased so then we purchased a LiveNation VIP ticket. It was my first time at the Toyota Pavilion and i was impressed with the facility. The chairs were a small bit roomier than floor seats at other venues which was a plus. Unfortunately purchasing concert tickets now is such an ordeal. It's really not worth the effort. Registering as a verified fan and then waiting to see if you are chosen to then waiting in a queue to hopefully chose tickets and then keep your fingers crossed that they don't magicallyndisappear before you have the chance to finalize your purchase. It makes going to a concert not much fun. A truly exhausting experience.
It rained all day and right up until 9-9:30. We had lawn seats and fortunately security allowed everyone to move into the covered area for protection. Maren was awesome. So glad we went.
She engaged with the audience but she didn't seem to have the energy of, say, Kane Brown or Jon Pardi All in all a very good concert
Loved everything about this venue from the easy parking to the clean bathrooms and perfect size for a concert (not too big, not too small). Definitely looking forward to seeing more concerts here.
What an incredible experience. Meren Morris was fantastic. We fell in love with the venue and the surrounding hotels and restaurants. We will be looking for more shows for a reason to come back!
She is an incredible performer. Played all the hits. Her voice is truly flawless and knows how to engage the crowd.
Maren Morris vocals were flawless. The venue is perfect for concerts. Great acoustics and easy parking.
The venue is great! Acoustics are phenomenal in the Armory! It would be nice to have some bar stools and high tops to eat and set drinks on around the back areas.
She sounds just as incredible on stage as she does on any of her records. She's truly a strong performer with an amazing voice, talented songwriting abilities, and would recommend anyone attend her concerts!!! Love you Maren!
