Morgan Klaiber

The Best Kept Secret of the West

She’s authentic. She’s a songstress. She’s a cowgirl. And she is the best kept secret of the west.

Spend a moment with Morgan and you’ll understand mighty quick the difference between those who “get it” and those who act like they do. This ranch-raised cowgirl hails from the unforgiving plains of Southern Alberta and is equal parts rancher and entertainer. She is just as comfortable on horseback working cattle on the family’s
heritage land as she is performing on some of Canada’s biggest stages. She truly gets the value of hard work and brings that work ethic learned on the ranch to her fresh new approach in the music business.

As last year’s winner of the coveted Rising Star Search at Canada’s most storied country club – Ranchman’s – Morgan’s talented has been on full display with a steady stream of high impact performances across the west including two memorable shows at Country Thunder Alberta, and The Big Valley Jamboree. With sharp wit, a dazzling smile, genuine cowgirl cred, and a voice that can belt out anything from Led Zeppelin to Dolly Parton, it’s no wonder Morgan’s brand has been so appealing to her ever-growing fan base.

In late 2024, Morgan debuted her freshly released album “Hardgrass Country” to a sold-out hometown audience at the Esplanade Theatre and has set the country music industry on fire with what fans from across Alberta are calling “one of the best albums of the year”. That status was solidified in March of 2025 with an “Album of the Year” win at the Country Music Alberta Awards, making waves as a completely independent project. With an unforgettable mix of masterfully written tales of the western way of life and high-octane honkytonk bangers, there is truly something for everyone on Morgan’s new record, showcasing just how versatile she is not just as a vocalist, but even more so as a songwriter.

Morgan is not just flying the flag for Western country music; you should say she is riding for the brand itself. A powerful, resonant voice paired with her approachable lyrics earns her rapport with every show she plays. Her writing style reflects the expanse of the windy prairies she comes from, with the stylings of the dancehalls she grew up in. Many genres and artists have influenced her style, and although a country artist, she includes these influences, along with her country-western roots, to create the sound and energy you feel and hear as Morgan Klaiber.

With a growing popularity and a fandom that includes notable country legends like Brett Kissel and Duane Steel, the West’s best kept secret certainly won’t be a secret for long. It’s only a matter of time.
