Today I am overjoyed to announce my 8th album Little Wide Open, which comes out May 15 on Dead Oceans. I’m also releasing the first single and video called Javelin, as well as tour dates in North America/EU/UK. I hope to see y’all out there and I can’t wait to bring this new album and the most incredible band with me. I recorded Little Wide Open with producer Aaron Dessner and engineer Bella Blasko at Long Pond throughout the Winter, Spring and Summer of last year. Aaron and I constructed these songs from the ground up - and then built our own little world around them before calling in the calvary to get us to the finish line. There are many amazing friends across the album; Andrew Barr plays drums, Mat Davidson plays fiddle, Lucinda Williams sings, Amelia Meath sings, Katie Gavin sings, Justin Vernon sirens, Meg Duffy guitars, Colin Croom steels, Oliver Hill strings, Rachel Baiman plays violin, and more. I wrote LWO throughout the many-year cycle touring my last album. I’d get back home and chip away at these songs in my little midwestern isolation chamber and also out on various solo road trips - across AR, MO, KS, TN, OK, and TX - my own private America, my own private heaven. LWO is set to a backdrop of tangled highways, towns with populations less than 100,000, roadside crosses, a rock and roll romance, coupling butterflies, being an American entertainer, Econoline vans and more. This is without a doubt the most personal and vulnerable album I’ve ever made. Aaron did a heroic job of holding me back from throwing too many tricks at the songs and letting my stories stand a bit naked. Despite its title this album is in fact, very wide open. The great Chantal Anderson took the cover photo; my arm inside a stunt jacket, reaching out of an Econoline towards a field of sunflowers. I like to think of the sunflowers less as flowers and more as a crowd of people. People who are looking on at an entertainer who has just arrived to perform their tricks, and is doing all in their power to connect. So much more to come. And more currently on my substack. Links to that/single/video/tickets all in bio. THANK YOU! Enjoy🌻 Cover layout @mikekrol / slide 2 📸@harperpix

I’m equally thrilled to release the music video for “100,000” today. I shot it with @codyduncum in Nashville back in February, and he did an incredible job capturing the mystery of all the quiet lives taking place in the middle of the country, off the side of the highway as you drive by. @hand.habits joined me in the studio on this one, and their explosive guitar work at the end of the song is one of my favorite parts of the album. Go watch the video now!

Little Wide Open is out today 🌻 When I set out to make this record I wanted to make something where the rhythm and pacing of the songs felt like the white lines of a highway passing beneath an Econoline van. A highway that tangled all around roadside crosses, small towns, and kids loitering in gas station parking lots, writing songs just to pass the time. Songs about butterflies…and love…and chewing gum…and tornado sirens…and storms. All the good stuff. For the longest time I was sure this album was called I Ride Passenger. But in the eleventh hour, after we shot the album cover, I realized it was called Little Wide Open, after the title track, which I see as the heart and soul of the record. Thank you Aaron for helping me see this thing through. You and Bella’s talent and patience in the studio was a real gift. I am forever grateful you reached out to me and for all of your encouragement along the way. I owe you a lot. And now, there’s really nothing more to say about Little Wide Open that I haven’t already said in interviews over the past few months. Go find them if you’re curious! But I think it’s time that Little Wide Open, at long last, speak for itself. Enjoy! Your attention, kindness and interest in my music means more than I could ever express. I hope this album can bring you some sonic sunflowers. Listen with the windows down🌻🌻🌻 Ok LWO, Be free!!! GROW WINGS!!! Like a butterfly!!! Or an angel, Xoxo KM 📷: @harperpix

Thank you @levonhelmstudios and everyone who came out for an absolutely unforgettable night. Honored to have @aarondessner join us on stage as well 🙏🏼 Four days until tour, six days until Little Wide Open! 📸: @harperpix

Offering a preview of his new album, Little Wide Open (coming next week), @kevinmorby and his incendiary band took the stage last night at @levonhelmstudios to a sold out crowd. Joined at times by producer @aarondessner (flip through), Morby’s new work wrestles with his life in music and the symbiotic long road (literal and figurative) such a committed relationship brings. A great show. 25 prints of the first drawing are available at the link in my bio; you can message me for information about the others if you’re inclined.

Still reeling from last night at @lucindasnyc 🫨 thank you to everyone who came out and sang these songs with me. I’m so excited to take my amazing band on the road and do this night after night. One week until Little Wide Open is out in the open! I can’t tell if I’m in heaven or if I’m in… 📸: @emilioherce , @harperpix
