Super Stoked !!!! Got my tickets yesterday....going to be an awesome show. Whitey is a hometown boy from Mt.Morris actually. I worked many years at Sears with his Grandma Shirley and also worked with his mom too. I can remember him coming into the store on occasion as a wee lad.
Whitey's grandpa was quite the accomplished guitarist. There is a large number of people in the Flint area that came from the south to work at GM, and a good number of them play or played music.Whitey's gramps was one of them, Bill Morgan.
Whitey has a song called Grandpa's guitar. Apparently he was the only one of Bill's kids or grandkids that had an interest in music. Bill taught Whitey how to play guitar. Whitey in his teen years and early 20s played punk or alternative music.
However, something was missing and he went through all of Bill's vinyl...which were all country....and he discovered that country music was his true calling. The rest they say is history.
Cody Jinks is a fantastic country singer and player as well....I don't know much about him other than he is the real deal......give these boys a listen on youtube.....you won't be disappointed.
