Maren Morris Headlines Sing Out Loud Festival in St. Augustine

Maren Morris delivered a high-energy set as the marquee act at Sing Out Loud Festival’s Live Wildly Showcase in St. Augustine, Florida, on Saturday, September 20, closing her appearance with fan-favorite tracks from her Dreamsicle era and reaffirming her status as one of country music’s most dynamic performers.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s performance underscored the festival’s commitment to blending rising stars with established headliners, drawing thousands of fans to historic Francis Field for an afternoon and evening of diverse musical acts.

Morris took the stage at 5:00 p.m., following sets by David Kushner and Sarah Kinsley, opening with the driving opener “Cry in the Car” before moving through a seamless mix of pop-infused country hits such as “80s Mercedes” and “People Still Show Up.” Her set peaked with anthemic moments in “Beabadoobee” and “The Bones,” showcasing her signature blend of raw vocals and sleek production. She closed with a rousing finish of “Over You” from her latest album, leaving the crowd chanting for more.

Throughout her 75-minute headlining slot, Morris engaged the audience with candid between-song banter, dedicating “Bed No Breakfast” to fans celebrating special occasions and inviting the crowd to sing along on the chorus of her platinum smash “The Middle.” The performance was punctuated by a dramatic light show and choreographed stage movements, illustrating her evolution from country breakout to crossover superstar.

Sing Out Loud Festival organizers noted that proceeds from Saturday’s ticket sales will benefit local land conservation efforts, aligning the event’s cultural impact with community stewardship. The festival continues on Sunday, September 21, with performances by Hozier, The Teskey Brothers, and Rilo Kiley headlining.

With her stirring delivery and setlist that balanced nostalgia and fresh material, Maren Morris reaffirmed why she remains a compelling live attraction, promising to return to St. Augustine as part of her ongoing Dreamsicle Tour.
