The Heartland Network to premiere new talk show with the Grand Ole Opry member
The Heartland Network is set to debut a new talk show, War Paint with Lorrie Morgan, hosted by the Grand Ole Opry legend and multi-platinum-selling artist. In this new show, Morgan sits down with industry friends and occasionally family members to chat about life on and off the road, and dish about relationships, and experiences and share funny stories. Each episode promises listeners a front-row seat to candid discussions with notable guests, offering a glimpse into their journeys and the impact of music on their lives. War Paint with Lorrie Morgan will air on The Heartland Network on Fridays at 7:30 pm ET/PT starting on Friday, July 12th.
Lorrie Morgan, renowned for her distinctive voice and profound influence on country music, brings her warmth, wit, and wisdom to every episode, creating an engaging and uplifting experience for listeners. Guests include Pam Tillis, Jimmy Fortune, T. Graham Brown, Vince Gill, Jeannie Seely and many others.
“From growing up as the daughter of a country music legend to becoming one in her own right, Lorrie Morgan offers a unique perspective into the genre and has an intrinsic ability to relate to other artists and industry veterans,” states Joel Wertman, President of Get After It Media. “I am thrilled to add Lorrie and these authentic conversations to the Heartland lineup.”
“I have been wanting to sit down and chat with industry friends and share those moments with fans for ages,” adds Morgan. “It’s so appropriate that War Paint with Lorrie Morgan is airing on The Heartland Network because this is a project of the heart for me!”
The new talk show was inspired by Morgan’s podcast of the same title which debuted last year and featured guests such as Nancy Jones, Larry Gatlin, and more.
The Heartland Network is a country music and lifestyle channel offering the best of Nashville, Austin, Bakersfield, Branson, and more to country fans from coast to coast. Heartland combines vintage programming and classic country from the vaults of Music Row with new content to connect viewers with the latest generation of country stars.
Morgan, the first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive platinum albums, has released a new album crafted with award-winning producer, the late Richard Landis. Dead Girl Walking is sure to be yet another collection showcasing the rainbow of emotions, from darkest heartache to bright, shiny humor, that is the hallmark of Morgan’s range. Her first three albums, Leave the Light On, Something in Red, and Watch Me, all earned platinum awards. Her Greatest Hits Collection is also platinum. War Paint, Greater Need, and Shakin’ Things Up are all gold winners. In 2012 and 2013, Morgan starred and sparkled in the lavish Enchanted Christmas productions at the opulent Opryland Resort in Nashville, and later took that show on the road. Morgan has recorded in collaboration with her father, as well as late husband Keith Whitley, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, Tammy Wynette, The Beach Boys, Dolly Parton, Andy Williams, the New World Philharmonic, and Pam Tillis. She has toured with George Jones and shared a stage with Jerry Lee Lewis, newly inducted into the Country Music Hall Fame along with Whitley. Morgan is known for her lustrous vocal phrasing and the down-to-earth believability of her torchy performances. She is a peerless song interpreter, drawing from a deep personal well that spans enormous tenderness to cheeky hutzpah. Whether covering a classic or sharing one of her own songs, Morgan is truly a song stylist in the grandest tradition.
