For the next two years,\u00a0Morgan\u00a0and her family traveled all over the South and Southwest selling over thirty thousand copies of her album. \u00a0At the age of sixteen,\u00a0Morgan followed her dream to Nashville where she perfected her songwriting craft and honed her chops at the legendary Tootsie\u2019s Orchid Lounge. \u00a0Not long after, she signed a publishing and recording contract with Curb Records imprint Sidewalk Records. She has the rare ability to bring an audience into her world with just her words and a few chords on her guitar. \u00a0 For more info\u00a0on Morgan Frazier, visit\u00a0www.morganfraziermusic.com<\/a> For more info on The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, visit:\u00a0www.jlsc.com<\/a><\/p>\n
