Country artist Megan Moroney burst onto the music scene in 2021—and three short years later, the singer is a bona fide star. Her single “Tennessee Orange” exploded on streaming services, and as of this writing, is nearing 200 million streams on Spotify alone, thanks to catchy, narrative vocals about finding love. Moroney’s music explores anthemic (“Sleep on My Side”), party (“Lucky”) and heartbreak vibes (“Girl in the Mirror”) through twangy instrumentation, all while her voice navigates between country grit and pop melody. You can catch Megan Moroney’s set at Stagecoach on Sunday, April 28.
