Maren’s new album Humble Quest is out March 25 on Sony Music Nashville’s Columbia Nashville imprint—pre-add/pre-save it here. Thus far, Maren has shared two singles from Humble Quest—“ Circles Around This Town ,” which broke Amazon Music’s record for most streams for a country song debut by a female artist and was praised by Rolling Stone for its “ambling groove that’s unhurried and bolstered by a grunge-lite guitar riff” and “Background Music,” which Billboard called a “lovely, dusky ballad” that “highlights the best of her R&B/country blend.”
Additionally, Maren is nominated for Female Artist of the Year at tonight’s 57th Academy of Country Music Awards. Furthermore, she is nominated for two Grammy awards this year: Best Country Song for “Better Than We Found It ” and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Chasing After You,” the No.1, Platinum-certified collaboration with her husband Ryan Hurd.
Maren began writing the songs on Humble Quest in the beginning of the pandemic as a series of major life changes unfolded—new motherhood, an upended career, the death of beloved friend and collaborator Michael Busbee and more, further compounded by lockdown. She felt control over life quickly slipping until she had an epiphany—she was never in control in the first place. This inspired her to reckon with the concept of humility as she thought about how the goal of appearing humble puts artists, especially women, in a box with unrealistic demands. Humble Quest documents Maren’s journey to redefining humility on her own terms as a grounded state of understanding one’s own truth rather than the capacity to appear authentic to others.
Produced by frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin (Adele, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters) and written alongside her husband Ryan Hurd, Julia Michaels, Jimmy Robbins, Natalie Hemby, Laura Veltz and Jon Green on Busbee’s piano, Humble Quest is Maren’s most genuine collection of songs, tracing her journey to embrace the imperfections in her life through snapshots of her rises and falls, overshares, lullabies, wine-soaked conversations with one old friend and a final goodbye to another one. “Am I humble enough now?” Maren asks herself sometimes. “Maybe. Or maybe I still haven’t found it yet. Or maybe, who cares as long as your friends and, most importantly, you know what your heart is all about? But here’s to taking the quest to find out.” Read Maren’s conversation with The New York Times about the making of Humble Quest here.

Audio work parts to support tour announce and on sale:
“Hey it’s Maren Morris. Hey y’all it’s Maren Morris.”
“I’m excited to bring the Humble Quest Tour to you.”
“Call right now to win your tickets to my show. Good luck!”
“Can’t wait to see you next week.”
“Can’t wait to see you this week.”
“On the Humble Quest Tour.”
“I’m really excited about this tour because we haven’t seen the fans in two years from the pandemic. So we are ready to get back out there and see everybody.”
“Creating the setlist for this show is really fun because obviously it’s the Humble Quest Tour. So we’re showcasing a lot of my album but yeah, peppering in some old favorites in there is always really fun. And throwing in some unexpected covers and creating moments that fans haven’t seen if you’ve seen me live. So we want it to feel really fresh and brand new, which it is so yeah, it’s gonna be a brand new setlist for this tour.”
“If I could have a dress code for the Humble Quest Tour, I want people to feel relaxed and we’re going to be outside in a lot of these venues. So whatever you would wear to an outdoor event, just you know stay hydrated, but also if you want to get dressed up and look crazy, like this is the time to do it. We want some festival vibes.“
This tour is special for me because we haven’t gotten to tour in so long. So I feel like we’re coming back with such an appreciation for it that we didn’t have quite the same way before. And I think that goes for artists and fans alike. It’s like we will never take for granted again being able to see live music.
“The vibe of this tour and what fans can expect is sort of a theater in the woods vibe is what we have envisioned for this stage set. And it’s going to be in a lot of amphitheaters so we’ll be under the stars. And I feel like the entire album of humble quest really lends itself to being outside. So I’m really excited to be in those venues this time around.”
