Those who know PJ Morton, know 👀✨

We’re less than one month away from Saturday Night, Sunday Morning — PJ Morton’s upcoming double album arriving on Juneteenth.

One side leans into late-night R&B and soul. The other into Sunday morning gospel and reflection. Two moods. One artist who does both effortlessly.

Then on July 23, the Saturday Night, Sunday Morning Tour comes to the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts for a night of musicianship, vocals, and live soul in a room built for sound.
