Morgans Mill is the brainchild of musicians Dylan Young and AJ Hawkins, who met whilestudying together at the East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, and CountryMusic program. Both already established on the scene as members of a range of local bands aswell as in the studio as session musicians on other artists’ recordings, the 2019 foundation ofMorgans Mill marked a new chapter in its founders’ lives — their first fully independent project.Distilling influences from Merle Haggard and The Allman Brothers to 49 Winchester andBlackberry Smoke into their own, bluesy take on country and southern rock, Morgans Mill’sunique signature sound perfectly encapsulates the new sound of the south. Combined withmelodically catchy yet thought-provoking lyrics, the band creates real music for real people — astatement to which their diverse and growing fan base stands testament.With a host of achievements under their belt, including nominations for the Texas Country MusicAssociation’s Songwriter of the Year, sharing the stage with Reckless Kelly, Cadillac Three, andother legends across 10 different states, selling out Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar on New YearsEve, and releasing 2 EPs alongside a slew of singles, Morgans Mill are preparing for theirbiggest year yet.
