What a good bass line. And horn section. You’re moving before the verse kicks in. We’re happy to premiere the new Major and the Monbacks song “Over and Over.” It’s got a Terry Kath-era Chicago vibe, doesn’t stray away from harmonies and is meant for warm, summer weather. The Matthew E. White produced track will be available on Moonlight Anthems, available June 16.

See Major and the Monbacks June 20 at The Hamilton in D.C., June 21 at Brooklyn Bowl and July 6 at Schubas in Chicago.

Event Details

Maren Morris is one of the leading voices in country music today—armed with incredible vocal stylings that reflect her country, folk and pop influences, sheer talent, honest lyrics and a strong presence. Morris’ latest album GIRL, released in March 2019 via Columbia Nashville, was named Album of the Year at the 53rd Annual Country Music Association Awards, where Morris was the most nominated artist. The album shattered the record for the largest ever debut streaming week for a country album by a woman with 23.96 million streams and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Single “The Bones” has just become the first multi-week country radio No. 1 from a woman since 2012. GIRL also features the history-making title track “GIRL” which had the highest debut on Billboard’s Country Streaming Songs chart by a female artist, the highest weekly streams by a female country artist ever and also topped country radio. GIRL comes three years after Morris’ breakout, Gold-certified debut album Hero and explores how her life has changed since then—a skyrocketing career, falling in love, becoming engaged and then married—and the highs and lows in between. She won a Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards, was named New Artist of the Year at the 50th Annual CMA Awards, Top Country Female Artist at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards and New Female Vocalist of the Year at the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards. Morris was also the most-played female artist on country radio in 2017 and 2018. The 29-year-old from Arlington, Texas got her start playing in bars around her hometown and quickly made a name for herself with Hero and its 2x Platinum-selling “My Church,” Platinum-selling “80s Mercedes” and “I Could Use A Love Song,” and Gold-selling “Rich”. Hero and its singles topped charts nationwide, set Country radio records, and were some of the most critically-acclaimed works of 2016.
