Craig Morgan, a country singer whose bio includes stints as a soldier, sheriff’s deputy and EMT, will headline the fourth annual American Dream Concert on Friday, May 6, at Engel Stadium.
The event is a fundraiser for UTC’s Veterans Entrepreneurship Program and the Engel Foundation. The VEP, administered by UTC’s College of Business, provides free training and mentoring to help veterans launch or grow a business using the skill sets they learned in the military. The Engel Foundation was chartered in 2009 to preserve the historic ballpark on East Third Street.
Morgan began his musical career in 2000 with a self-titled debut album, but it was his next four albums that solidified his place on the charts: “I Love It” in 2003, “My Kind of Livin'” in 2005, “Little Bit of Life” in 2006 and “That’s Why” in 2008.
