Morgan Griffiths

Morgan Griffiths is a country singer and songwriter from Abbotsford, British Columbia. “Bourbon” is a useful first stop: his official biography dates its radio release to March 1, 2025, and SiriusXM selected a performance of the song for his 2026 Top of the Country artist page. His own website also features “Bourbon (Acoustic),” giving listeners another version to explore alongside that performance.

Why he’s on Next Up

Griffiths reached the final three of Top of the Country with Blue Ridge Band and Shawnee Kish. SiriusXM and the CCMA announced the result on September 17, 2026: Blue Ridge Band won, while Griffiths and Kish each received a $10,000 runner-up prize. The program’s finalists also received opportunities involving mentorship and performances, so the result marks one stage of a longer development program.

His name also appears in three categories on the official 2026 CCMA nominee list: Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year, Fans’ Choice, and Single of the Year for “Bourbon.” Those nominations are separate from his Top of the Country result and help explain why Canadian country listeners may be encountering his name through different announcements.

Where to start

Start with the SiriusXM Bourbon session, then use his official music links to find the acoustic version and “Just Being Me.” Following those recordings gives the award news a musical starting point; his official website is also the place to check upcoming appearances.
