Hozier & Maren Morris Team For ‘CMT Crossroads’
Hozier and Maren Morris are the latest artists set to appear on the CMT Crossroads franchise.
The new episode was filmed in front of a live audience at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and reunites the Irish singer-songwriter with Morris following their first collaboration in 2019 when they released a version together of Morris’ crossover hit “The Bones.”
The show has the pair swapping stories and performing on each other’s most-celebrated songs, including Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” “Work Song,” and two releases off his newest album, “Eat Your Young” and “All Things End.” They will also perform Morris’ “The Bones,” “My Church,” “Girl” and her brand new single, “The Tree.”
CMT Crossroads: Hozier & Maren Morris premieres with a special one-hour presentation on Sept. 22 at 9 p.m. CT, with an immediate encore at 10 p.m. CT, and on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 11 CT. It will also air live on Sept.r 23 on CMT.com, CMT VOD and the MTV app (CMT Crossroads), with subsequent premieres on CMT Music and MTV Live.
“Getting to share songs with Maren Morris for CMT Crossroads was a uniquely rewarding and fun experience,” says Hozier. “I’ve often felt a great deal of kinship between her work and my own. Getting to explore that and work alongside someone so outrageously talented was a joy. There were moments on that stage that I got to be a musician, a performer, collaborator and an audience member to Maren’s beautiful new music all at once.”
“Hozier is such a necessary artist to these times,” shares Morris. “He meets every moment with tenderness, clever wit and a strong moral stance for what is right. I’ve loved becoming friends with him over the years and I truly consider him to be one of the best of our generation. It was so much fun to collaborate again.”
