“CMT Crossroads: Hozier & Maren Morris” reunites the Grammy nominated Irish singer-songwriter with GRAMMY® award-winner Maren Morris who first collaborated in 2019 when they together released a version of Morris’ massive crossover hit “The Bones.” The CMT Crossroads episode has the musicians swapping stories and performing on each other’s most-celebrated songs, including Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” “Work Song,” and two releases off his newest album “Eat Your Young” and “All Things End”; and with Morris’ “The Bones,” and “My Church,” “Girl,” and her brand new single, “The Tree.”
Shared Hozier: “Getting to share songs with Maren Morris for ‘CMT Crossroads’ was a uniquely rewarding and fun experience. I’ve often felt a great deal of kinship between her work and my own. Getting to explore that and work alongside someone so outrageously talented was a joy. There were moments on that stage that I got to be a musician, a performer, collaborator and an audience member to Maren’s beautiful new music all at once.”
Said Maren Morris: “Hozier is such a necessary artist to these times. He meets every moment with tenderness, clever wit and a strong moral stance for what is right. I’ve loved becoming friends with him over the years and I truly consider him to be one of the best of our generation. It was so much fun to collaborate again.”
This episode of the critically-acclaimed music series was filmed in front of a live audience in the heart of downtown Nashville at Bridgestone Arena.
