Tulsa, OK songwriter John Moreland played in hardcore and punk bands before hearing Steve Earle and other country and folk, which changed his songwriting direction. 2015’s High on Tulsa Heat was a breakthrough for John, as was getting to perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last year (watch that below). John has now signed to 4AD who will release his fourth album, Big Bad Luv, on May 5. The first single off the record is “It Don’t Suit Me (Like Before)” and you can listen to that below.

John will be on tour beginning in June, including a show in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on 6/7. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, March 3 at noon with an AmEx presale beginning Wednesday (3/1) at noon. Much of the tour is with onetime Centro-Matic frontman Will Johnson (who has a new LP too).
