Breakout Warner Music Nashville/Warner Bros. Records Country artist MORGAN EVANS is toasting yet another career highlight today with the release of his brand new album Things That We Drink To.

Last night he was joined in celebrations by his wife Kelsea Ballerini, who features on the album track 'Dance With Me', and Ed Sheeran. You can see a video of them together here.

Morgan also made his BBC Radio 2 DJ debut last night presenting highlights of Nashville's CMA Music Festival 2018. Over the next four weeks, he will be talking to stars of the event including last night's guests Dan + Shay, Jason Aldean, Carly Pearce, Darius Rucker and the star of the "Nashville" TV series Charles Esten, and playing snippets of their live sets giving the UK audience an insight into the huge four-day country music celebration. You can listen back to last night's show here.

Following this, the Aussie star will also be making his US morning-television debut on Thursday 18th October, when he will perform his irresistible #1 hit single 'Kiss Somebody'live on NBC'S TODAY.

Coming just days after the release of his full-length American debut, the magnetic entertainer will take the stage during the show and deliver his romantic chart-topper in signature style, connecting directly with fans nationwide using only two guitars and a loop pedal.

Things That We Drink To has been championed by Maverick Magazine in the UK and Morgan features as one of PEOPLE magazine's Ones To Watch 2018 in the latest issue. Evans has also been announced to join Old Dominion as a special guest on the band's upcoming Make It Sweet Tour in the US, kicking off in January.

Things That We Drink To is a collection of 11 songs co-penned by Evans over the last two years, reflecting his exciting journey since moving to Nashville from Australia. Each instrument heard on the project was played by Evans and the album's producer, Chris DeStefano. Click here to purchase THINGS THAT WE DRINK TO now.
