After back to back to back nights of sold out crowds at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Morgan Wallen dialed it back for a crowd of 100 fans at Graduate Nashville’s Cross-Eyed Critters Watering Hole on Saturday.
The show was prize rewarded to a raffle winner from his Morgan Wallen & Friends Show at Marathon Music Works.
Graduate Hotels teased the pop-up show on their Instagram story about an hour ahead of time with a picture of their animatronic pig (at least I think it’s a pig) wearing a guitar strap that said “Dangerous” and tagging Morgan Wallen while asking if it was “Quitting Time” yet.
Around 80 lucky fans who figured out the hint,alongside 20 winners of radio contests from around the country, were then treated to a private acoustic performance that included “More Than My Hometown,” “Dangerous,” “Chasing You,” “Wasted On You,” “Whiskey Glasses” and “Flower Shops,” Morgan’s hit with Ernest.
With three bucks from every ticket sold on his Dangerous Tour going to benefit his More Than My Hometown Foundation, Morgan’s three-night stop at Bridgestone last week alone raised over $120,000 that will be put into initiatives for adolescent development, resources and local communities.
“Since my parents fostered and now officially adopted my sister Lacey, I’ve witnessed what love and care can do for a child that didn’t have it before. She has transformed into a confident, trusting and happy kid.
There are many elements that aid in the development and protection of an adolescent’s life, and that is why I created the foundation so a child’s resources are not limited due to their circumstances.”
Morgan’s three nights at Bridgestone featured surprise visits from Ronnie Dunn, Erich Church, Jason Aldean and more.
