Medicine Hat’s Morgan Klaiber joins us on the phone to talk about her upcoming headlining performance at Country at the Creek Music Festival near Big River at the Ness Creek site as her summer schedule ramps up.

Morgan takes a moment to reflect on the momentum gained after her album Hardgrass Country earned Album of the Year at the Country Music Alberta Awards last year, describing it as both validation and a career-turning point that opened new performance opportunities and boosted her confidence heading into a second project. She also connects her ranch upbringing south of Medicine Hat to her songwriting, explaining how rural life continues to shape her sound, work ethic, and identity as she balances music with ongoing ranch responsibilities.

Catch Morgan Klaiber at the Ness Creek site on July 4!
