WHITEY MORGAN IN CONCERT:
Honky tonk hero Whitey Morgan has been giving fans a boot-stomping good time for the past decade, but 2015 proved a watershed year for Morgan when he and his band The 78's made their first appearance on the Billboard charts. The album the landed them there, Sonic Ranch, cracked the Top 10 on the Heatseekers chart, earning heaps of critical acclaim and putting the band on the national radar . Since then Morgan has been in peak form, performing barroom brawlers like "I Ain't Drunk" and "Another Round" with his signature devil-may-care attitude while his band kicks out bluesy piano riffs, walking basslines, and rip-roaring drums. Morgan's gruff yet soulful voice and world-wise lyrics are the real deal, and fans looking for an authentic honky tonk experience won't want to miss him as he burns it down live.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Flint, MI-based Whitey Morgan began performing in the mid-'00s with his band the Waycross Georgia Farmboys. After establishing themselves in the Midwest honky tonk scene with a self-released EP and tireless touring, the group signed with Detroit's Small Stone Records and dropped their debut album Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels. They continued to build their following in 2009 on tour with The Deadstring Brothers, and in 2010 they made their debut as Whitey Morgan and the 78’s with a self-titled album released on Bloodshot Records. Since then the band has performed on NPR, nabbed a 2014 Ameripolitan Music Award for Outlaw Country Band of the Year, and released their 2015 album Sonic Ranch to Top 40 spots on both Billboard's Top Country Albums and Independent Albums charts.
Just over 50 and seen a lot of concerts and this was the by far one of my favorite concerts of all time! I sure wish country radio would play this man and his 78’s! Love to see real country being played! Been a fan since the first song I ever heard of his. Wish you all the success you deserve brother!!!
I didn’t enjoy Whitey getting moved from the Uptown Theatre to The Madrid Theatre even though I understand why, but I will literally choose shows based on venues. If I knew he was gonna play at The Madrid Theatre I wouldn’t have went. Also Whitey just seemed off that night energy wise. I have seen him about 6 times before & this was his most low key performance that I’ve seen of him. I’ll just chalk it up to venue change & maybe a much smaller crowd than he’s use to playing to.
It was a fantastic performance and Karen and I loved it. Both groups came out and interacted with the audience and Whitey Morgan's harmonica player is simply the best. You are what country music is all about. Thanks
If you want to hear some "real"country music, not the "pop""bro-country"garbage they play on the radio today. Go see Whitey. He plays with the spirit of Waylon, and the grit of Cash. He is a true ambassador of old school country music. Go see him, you wont be sorry
Had a great time, Whitey always puts on the best performance!
Great venue, fantastic music, friendly crowd, good service, historic building,
Great concert! Awesome venue! Very great experience. Loved the fast lane tickets letting us get in early. Staff was very friendly as well.
This was a great concert . Venue was great . Crowd was good except that one guy picking fights but that makes the experience entertaining. The music was great did an awesome job ! Definitely one to remember 👍🏻
Whitey Morgan threw a hell of a show just like I expected.
Whitey was great as always, the opener Myron Elkins was fantastic, became a fan that night & look forward to see his band again. Venue was fun as it always is.
