William Michael Morgan

Day 2 of WE Fest 2016 kicked off with a traditional country set from newcomer William Michael Morgan.

Country newcomer William Michael Morgan is slated to debut his first major label album, Vinyl, early this fall.

William Michael Morgan is getting his first taste of radio success with the release of his debut single, "I Met a Girl," and the country singer credits his parents for allowing him to pursue his passion for music.

William Michael Morgan is an artist whose growing success rebuts the often-stated theory that traditional country music is dead and gone. Fans who love that classic country sound will want to make sure to catch his set at WE Fest 2016 in August.

William Michael Morgan is a proud "hat act," but his first single was co-written by the antithesis of hat acts. Sam Hunt helped write "I Met a Girl," and Morgan says he's not only a big fan of the song, he's a big fan of Hunt's.

What a difference a year can make. While so much of 2015's country music scene was dominated by a debate over women and their role in the genre, 2016 has been a much more inclusive year — and nowhere is that more apparent than in the lineup for the 2016 Taste of Country Music Festival.

The new year didn't kick off in the best possible way for newcomer William Michael Morgan. The country singer was involved in a car accident on Jan. 1.
