From the mountains of Appalachia to the wanderlust lifestyle of the road, Morgan Wallen has embraced his ever-changing career over the past couple years.

After earning a spot on the Big Loud Records roster, Wallen began gaining attention from critics everywhere. Filling in on opening slots for huge artists in the format, Wallen caught fire with his single, “The Way I Talk,” and his EP that quickly followed after with the same title.

Wallen caught the eye of both Jake Owen and Florida Georgia Line and landed him a couple opening gigs for both of the respective artists out on tour. With FGL taking him under their wing for the Smooth Tour with Chris Lane, Nelly and the Backstreet Boys joining along too, Wallen is learning the ropes from some solid guidance and developing his sound deeper before releasing a full-length album to fans.

In the meantime, he took a pit stop near Knoxville, Tennessee, to play his first-ever hometown headline show at the famous Cotton Eyed Joe venue in town. Wallen showed his behind-the-scenes look of the experience by taking over Sounds Like Nashville’s Instagram account for the day and he surely made a parade of his time back at home.

With impromptu photoshoots lined up in the afternoon to rocking out the crowd later that night, Wallen felt that love from the people he grew up around and cherished every second he could while in town.
