MO PITNEY
Morgan Daniel Pitney, also known as Mo Pitney, is an American country and bluegrass singer and guitarist. He was born March 24, 1993, in Rockford, Illinois. Mo began playing the drums at 6 and the guitar at 12, and eventually signed to Curb Records in Nashville, Tennessee. He has released two studio albums, Behind This Guitar (2016) and Ain’t Lookin’ Back (2020). Notably, Pitney’s single “Country” was well received and entered the Top 40 on the Country Airplay chart. Mo Pitney’s debut album Behind This Guitar was a success, charting at No. 10 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Pitney recorded Behind This Guitar with producer Tony Brown.
Meanwhile, his second album Ain’t Lookin’ Back was produced by his friend and collaborator Jim “Moose” Brown, who took the time to understand Pitney musically before they went into the studio.
He is regarded as a promising talent in the country music scene. Reveals that his musical journey started with an appreciation for banjos and bluegrass, particularly that of the legendary J.D. Crowe. This fascination led to an unexpected yet exceptional recording of Crowe’s classic “Old Home Place.” The song features an all-star cast of Crowe, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, Jerry Douglas, Jon Randall, Aubrie Haney, Guthrie Trapp, and Barry Bales.
