The Gypsy Soul love affair with the music of PJ Morton began in 2006 when PJ took a leap of faith and allowed Gypsy Soul to do media for him while he was in Baltimore. The concept of Gypsy Soul was already designed but this opportunity was the push that made our work with artists we know the world should hear reality.

Since 2006 Gypsy Soul has hosted two intimate shows in Baltimore with PJ, helping to grow his fan base in the DMV while introducing our audience to the epitome of the type of art that Gypsy Soul supports. To see PJ last night at The Howard Theatre for the album release of his new and FIRST major label project New Orleans was an overwhelming experience. The transition from spaces that held a few hundred people to flashing lights and venues that hold a cool couple thousand is particularly awesome to witness.

PJ has promised in his music to his beloved that he would stay the same, I think he has made the same promise to fans and he has stayed true. He has certainly grown in his creativity but his core, his accessibility, his humility, his ability to engage and connect with the crowd, his gift of creating time transcending music has stayed the same.

With his band The Crusade, he performed several hits from his new album including "Lover", his second single "Work It Out", my personal fave "Trade It All", "Love You More" with his keyboardist who ROCKED IT, and the first single from the album qhich features Stevie Wonder "Only One". In addition to some classics he played one of my all time PJ Morton favorites "Third Degree".

With his first major label deal, touring with Maroon 5, and family life PJ is a true example of hard work and success with integrity and we are proud to be able to see his journey up close and personal.
