Shelton will be joined by Hunter Flynn and UA student Myles Morgan, a Birmingham-born singer-songwriter who has grown from local gigs to major venues in just over a year.

Morgan, who taught himself guitar during his senior year of high school, began performing at fraternity events and campus bars before booking stages such as the Flora-Bama and CMA Fest 2025 in Nashville.

“As a kid from Alabama and a student at the University of Alabama, it’s truly an honor to go from playing restaurants and bars in Tuscaloosa a year ago to playing a show at Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater with Blake Shelton,” Morgan said. “It’s all God. Getting to do it on Tennessee weekend just makes it that much sweeter — Roll Tide.”

Morgan’s debut single, “Nobody’s Fault but Yours,” released in the summer of 2024, has surpassed 1 million streams.

His follow-up track, “Is This Seat Taken?,” was inspired by a moment at Bryant-Denny Stadium. He currently has more than 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Tickets for the concert are still available.
