Bluesfest Tours is incredibly proud to present PJ Morton, who will be performing shows at 170 Russell in Melbourne and The Metro Theatre in Sydney.
PJ Morton is a soul singer, songwriter, performer and producer based in New Orleans. With four consecutive years of GRAMMY wins as a self-released, self-produced artist, chart-topping achievements and countless collaborations, his album Watch The Sun was the next step in a remarkable career that continues to bridge styles, traditions and generations.
Released in 2022 on his own Morton Records, Watch The Sun features Stevie Wonder, Nas, Jill Scott, JoJo, El DeBarge, Chronixx, Wale, Alex Isley and more. In August 2023, he released Watch the Sun Live: The Mansion Sessions, featuring Susan Carol, Shelea, Kenyon Dixon, and more.
Following the breakthrough of his Gumbo LP in 2017 and the six albums he’s released since then, PJ Morton has experienced a prolific and critically acclaimed streak that has also led to his first-ever NAACP Image Award and Soul Train nominations, BET Award nominations, sold-out shows at the historic Apollo Theatre and far beyond.
PJ also plays keys in Maroon 5 for over a decade and counting, who have sold 120 million albums and are the 41st greatest album sales artists worldwide. His resume also includes work with Erykah Badu, Jon Batiste, Yebba and many others.
A Message from Peter Noble from Bluesfest & Bluesfest Tours:
“We are thrilled to announce PJ Morton. PJ Morton is an artist that Bluesfest Tours has always wanted to present. He is one of the new generation of New Orleans artists taking on the world. His 20 GRAMMY nominations and his four wins every year for the past four years mark the emergence of a major artist of the future. To miss these special shows in venues of this size will mean you won’t be able to say, I saw him when…we expect tickets to sell quickly.”
