Morgan Wade is a native of Floyd, Virginia. Her parents divorced when she was 5 years old and she spent a lot of time with her grandparents, who took her to local bluegrass music events. In 2016, she graduated from Jefferson College of Health Sciences in Roanoke, Virginia with a bachelors in exercise science and a minor in public health.
As a freshman in college, she was inspired to write songs after breaking up with her boyfriend. She recruited musicians through Craigslist to record her first album, Puppets with My Heart, released in January 2018 under the band name Morgan Wade & The Stepbrothers.
In July 2018, Wade performed at FloydFest, where Jason Isbell’s sound engineer gave her album to Sadler Vaden, the guitarist in Isbell’s band the 400 Unit.
Sadler Vaden and producer Paul Ebersold then helped her assemble Reckless; the album was released via the Thirty Tigers label…
