Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland hosts country music legend Lorrie Morgan Feb. 20

ROLAND, Okla. - Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland will welcome country music legend Lorrie Morgan to the stage at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, at Lee Creek Tavern inside the casino.

One of the most eloquently emotive vocalists in modern country music, Morgan continues to captivate audiences with her timeless voice, heartfelt storytelling and undeniable stage presence. The first woman in country music history to launch her career with three consecutive platinum albums, Morgan remains a defining voice of her generation and a living link to Nashville's golden era.

Throughout her storied career, Morgan has brought to life some of country music's most enduring hits, including "Five Minutes," "Something in Red," "Watch Me," "What Part of No" and "Except for Monday." Her distinctive blend of torchy emotion and playful sass has earned her multiple gold and platinum albums, a CMA Award, and recognition as TNN/Music City News Female Vocalist of the Year four times.

A Nashville native and the daughter of Country Music Hall of Famer George Morgan, Lorrie made her Grand Ole Opry debut at just 13 years old and was inducted as a member at 24. Her musical journey has been both deeply personal and universally relatable - marked by triumphs, tragedy and resilience. The widow of country legend Keith Whitley, Lorrie has long drawn on her own life experiences to bring authenticity and depth to every performance.

Over the years, she has collaborated with a roster of music icons, including George Jones, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, Tammy Wynette and The Beach Boys. Her artistic versatility shines through whether she's performing heartfelt classics, co-writing new material with artists like Larry Gatlin, or joining fellow Opry star Pam Tillis for their celebrated "Grits & Glamour" tour.

Lorrie Morgan's concerts are more than performances; they are soulful journeys through love, loss, laughter and life, blended with powerhouse vocals and emotional honesty.

The show is free to those 21 and older.
