Country music's Lorrie Morgan returns to Fargo

Morgan, who debuted at the Grand Ole Opry at age 13, has lived a life that seems lifted from country music lyrics.

Lorrie Morgan will perform at the Fargo Theatre on Friday, August 9, 2024.

Born in Nashville, Morgan is the daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member George Morgan. She made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage at age 13, singing "Paper Roses." She was 16 when her father died suddenly of a heart attack, and as a young bride she also lost her husband, fellow country music singer Keith Whitley, who died of an alchol overdose in 1989, three years after they were married.

The couple's duet "Til a Tear Becomes a Rose" earned Morgan a 1990 CMA award, and she's the first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums, “Leave the Light On” (1989), “Something in Red” (1991) and “Watch Me” (1992). Her Greatest Hits collection (1999) is also Platinum.

Morgan last performed in the area with Pam Tillis in 2012.

Ticket prices range from $49.50 to $79.50, plus fees. For ticket information, visit jadepresents.com .
