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.

by rgnick51 on 2/24/15Saint Andrews Hall - DetroitStumbled upon this artist from a random Facebook post that referenced his interview in Rolling Stone magazine. This interview impressed and intrigued me enough to go to Whitey’s website and look for tour information. I was very pleased to see he was coming to Detroit. Grabbed two tickets and waited for the event. And boy, was it well worth the wait!!!! The energy from the crowd was almost palpable. And when Whitey hit the stage? It was magic for 1.5 hours. Non-stop. Played some new songs. Played some favorites. And then he went “old school” and performed a Waylon Jennings song. AND a Sam Cooke song! The 78s are a tight, well-oiled machine behind Whitey. You can tell they love what they do. Not a false note was played. I could have happily stayed and listened for another 1.5 hours! Already going back online to see what other venues Whitey and the 78s will be at so I can hopefully catch another concert. Highly recommended if you want a good ol’ time, with great music, great energy, and a connection to what country music used to be -- and hopefully will become again.
