Morgan Evans steps out shadows, reveals exciting new personal and professional era | Music City Minute

Here is a name we have not heard in a while: Morgan Evans. After he and Kelsea Ballerini finalized their very public divorce, the Aussie singer-songwriter felt the best way to heal was to step back and assume a low profile. Like so many of us, Evans processed his sadness and grief by throwing himself into work. Now three years post breakup, Evans is ready to feel a spotlight again. In a recent interview, the 40-year-old became an open book. He described how his lowest points were punctuated with confusion and anger over public scrutiny aimed at him through tabloids and social media. Thankfully, with the help of family, friends, writing, recording and much-needed rest and relaxation in his native Newcastle, Australia, the “Day Drunk” singer has found peace. In fact, he is releasing a new 11-song album called “Steel Town” March 20, followed by a headline tour around Australia and New Zealand. Not only that, Evans has found a special someone to take up his time: fellow Nashville artist Laci Kaye Booth.
