WILMINGTON — Country music artist Morgan Wade will take the stage at Bowstring Brewyard this October.
A Virginia native, Wade’s debut solo album “Reckless” in 2021 introduced listeners to her songwriting and raw emotional depth, earning widespread critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Since then, she has continued to expand her sound and storytelling with her albums “Psychopath,” “Obsessed,” and most recently “The Party Is Over (recovered).” Blending country, rock, and Americana influences, her music explores themes of addiction, mental health, resilience, and self-discovery with striking authenticity. On her forthcoming and much-anticipated fifth studio album, Wade will continue the deep exploration of her psyche.
Wade is also making her acting debut with a recurring role in the new season of “Dutton Ranch,” an expansion of the popular “Yellowstone” universe.
Wade will be joined at Bowstring by Susto Stringband. Justin Osborne has been performing as ‘Susto’ since 2013, when he formed a collective of fellow musicians and artists in coastal Charleston, South Carolina.
Susto Stringband is also made of Americana vocalist Clint Roberts, clawhammer banjoist Helena Rose, and upright bassist Joey Brown (now Holler Choir). Their artistic chemistry captured a new sound that unfolds on Susto Stringband’s debut release from New West Records, simply titled “Susto Stringband: Volume 1.”
The show will take place Oct. 8, 2026, at 7 p.m. Tickets can be found here.
