Morgan Wade - Psychopath (Official Audio)


#amwriting to Morgan Wade – According to ‘About the Artist’ retrieved August 24, 2023 on Spotify, “Most artists don't top Rolling Stone's Best Country Albums of the year list with their debut album. But most artists aren't Morgan Wade, who earned the top spot with her scathingly honest and raw 2021 LP Reckless. 

“While Reckless, and its Top 30 lead single "Wilder Days," busted down the doors and introduced Wade as a once-in-a- generation songwriter, she now readies her anticipated follow-up project, Psychopath, arriving Aug. 25. 

An astounding 13-track LP, Psychopath most excitingly finds Wade peeling back layers of her psyche like never before. Wade has been no stranger to the road throughout the first quarter of 2023 on her headlining NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN TOUR, which sold out 35 shows for more than 40,000 tickets sold. 

A Virginia native, Wade has broken away from the pack to become one of country music's most compelling new voices. Possessed with a raw and unflinching voice anchored by a perfect tinge of twang; the rare ability to pen honest portraits of some of life's most precious and painful and unpredictable moments; and an onstage vulnerability that so seamlessly breaks down the wall between fan and artist, Wade has quickly made her mark on the country music scene- and the music world at large-with nominations for ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Americana Music Association Emerging Act of the Year, and CMT Breakthrough Female Video of the Year…

Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant, 205 Frederick Rd, Thurmont, MD

 




The restaurant is well lit and fun - nicely decorated and obviously well-maintained. The folks that work there obviously  like the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food was great with great prices, and a large parking lot – right off Rte 15. We look forward to returning soon.

 Earlier Caroline had played in a Westminster Municipal Band concert in the Thurmont Memorial Park, just off 116 East Main Street, Thurmont, MD 21788, at the Thurmont Trolley Park. The band concert was great – and enjoyed by many folks from around town who came out on a beautiful Sunday evening to enjoy the music.

 We really liked the 1.3-acre park. It was well maintained and picturesque. It is obvious that Thurmont loves the park – and that folks enjoy it. The park comes complete with a bubbling stream that runs through the park – not far from a memorial pavilion that honors local folks who have served in the military and fought in a nation’s wars to maintain the freedoms and quality of life we enjoy. It was a great evening, and we look forward to returning to Thurmont.

 The Thurmont Trolley Park. We were intrigued about the Trolley Trail Park. According to the Thurmont website, “The Thurmont Trolley Trail is a .8 mile trail installed over the former trolley tracks that serviced Thurmont in the 1900’s.

 “The Town of Thurmont also acquired and displays one of the trolley cars that was once utilized in Thurmont’s history. The building that was once used to house all the electrical components that operated the trolley sits at the beginning of the trail on East Main Street. 

 “The Town of Thurmont and the Thurmont Lions Club has installed murals on the building depicting the history of Thurmont...

 “From 1908 to 1954, Thurmont was the "end of the line" for the trolley system that traveled from Frederick to Thurmont. During its hay day in the 1920's, the Hagerstown and Frederick Railway (H &F) carried 3.8 million people per year.

 “However, with great strides in the world of transportation, the demands for the trolley dwindled and the H&F made its final trip to Thurmont in 1954 and the tracks were removed. The existing trail begins at the historical trolley car and promotes a glimpse at Thurmont’s historical transportation services. Today, the trail is heavily used by residents and visitors for hiking, jogging, biking, and enjoying nature.”

 It was a great evening, and we look forward to returning to Thurmont. https://goo.gl/maps/o1SsDQQoxCfWduqf9
