Critically acclaimed Oklahoma singer/songwriter John Moreland will be making his network television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this evening, February 1st, 2016. The show airs at 11:35/10:35 CT on CBS.
Moreland’s current album High On Tulsa Heat was released last April and resonated deeply with both his devoted fans and the press. The album received coverage from a vast array of outlets including The New York Times, Pitchfork Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone Country, Utne Reader, American Songwriter, CMT Edge and many more. Moreland was also the subject of an in depth feature in The Wall Street Journal (click HERE) and NPR Music premiered Moreland’s dark and haunting video for the song “Cherokee” which can be viewed HERE.
“The Oklahoma folk singer John Moreland has a beautifully abraded voice, full of potholes and gravel…High on Tulsa Heat is starkly elegant, addressing sadness with clarity and directness.” – New York Times
“There is plenty of well-worn sentiment and saltiness in his music, but there is also a relatable humanity that makes High on Tulsa Heat worth going back to… there’s a beauty that helps the collection soar above the ground.” – Pitchfork
“It’s been a while since American folk music has seen the likes of a songwriter that is able to cut as deep as John Moreland.” – Utne Reader
Moreland’s poignant lyrics, and honest sincere delivery have earned him immense respect amongst his peers as well. Moreland connects in a rare way with his listeners and has the ability to silence a loud room with just his guitar and expressive vocal. For an example of Moreland’s live performances click HERE.
A musician’s songwriter, John has been invited to open tours for a variety of artists over the past couple of years including Jason Isbell, Amos Lee, Lucero, Patty Griffin and Dawes.
Moreland will be hitting the road in February, and you can catch him in the following cities and at SXSW. (See below). Don’t miss his performance tonight on The Late Show.
