Today, PJ Morton announces The Saturday Night, Sunday Morning Tour: 30 headline shows across North America this summer and fall, performing music from his forthcoming double album, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, and the many other hits you know and love. Accompanied by his longtime live band, dates include Detroit's Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre, New York City's Town Hall, Los Angeles' United Theater and dozens of stops in between, beginning in July and culminating with his annual Black Friday concert at New Orleans' Orpheum Theater.

Tickets for The Saturday Night, Sunday Morning Tour go on sale at 10am local on Friday, April 24th. Artist Presale begins Thursday, April 23rd at 10am local. Sign up for the Artist Presale and get more information at pjmorton.com/#shows

In addition to performing around the globe, PJ Morton has made albums everywhere from Africa to Louisiana. He has won six GRAMMY® Awards including Best R&B Song, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Gospel Album, has recorded with everything from a lone piano to a full orchestra, and played everywhere from church services to the Super Bowl Halftime Show. He has topped the pop charts as a long-time, full-time member of Maroon 5, and throughout his transformation from preacher's kid to one of the busiest men in music, he has collaborated with countless icons, innovators and institutions. But until now, one thing he has never done is create a project that captures the full breadth of his artistry, identity and inspirations. 

On June 19th, PJ Morton will release Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, a double album split in two: one half of R&B (Saturday Night), one half of Gospel (Sunday Morning). Each record features nine new songs that seamlessly coexist, breaking down the barriers of sound, culture and genre that he has always sought to defy.

"I'd always been made to choose. Growing up in church, I loved gospel music. You could feel it in your soul. But R&B and soul music, that got me too. There was always an unspoken rule that you had to choose one or the other. But is that a true reflection of life? Are we all one thing all the time? Is the soundtrack the same for having a worship experience with God as it is for falling in love? I've been fortunate enough to exist in many of these spaces authentically. I was the same person when I wrote 'Let Go Let God' as I was when I wrote 'Say So.' I didn't want to choose this time. I'm both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning."

-PJ Morton 

Written and produced by PJ Morton, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning marks an unprecedented release for him and any other artist or album in the past decade, while continuing a tradition of musical and communal bridge-building first set forth by heroes like Al Green and Aretha Franklin. Sharing the same title as his memoir, the music channels that life story into a collection of music defined by unity and duality, independence and interconnectedness, exploration and introspection, all recorded at his own historic Studio In The Country in rural Bogalusa, LA. Furthermore, and entirely by chance, both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning run exactly 29:14 in length.
