Whitey Morgan

Whitey Morgan, a respected outlaw country artist known for his authentic sound and extensive touring, established the band Whitey Morgan and the Waycross Georgia Farmboys in 2005. The group self-produced an early EP featuring tracks such as ‘Goodbye Dixie’ and ‘Prove It All To You,’ quickly gaining recognition within the Midwest Honky Tonk scene. This early success led to a deal with Detroit’s Small Stone Recordings, under which they recorded a cover of Van Halen’s ‘Runnin’ with the Devil’ for the label’s compilation album, ‘Sucking the 70’s.’ In 2007, the band restructured and became Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, releasing their debut album, ‘Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels,’ through Small Stone Recordings in 2008. By 2009, the band expanded to include Tamineh Gueramy on fiddle, traveling to Woodstock, New York, to record their second album at Levon Helm Studios.

In a significant career milestone, Morgan made his official debut at the Grand Ole Opry in 2024, cementing his established place within country music’s enduring legacy. With a discography that now includes six studio albums and a live recording from his hometown, Whitey Morgan continues to evolve his musical output. Looking ahead to early 2025, Morgan released three new singles, all produced by the celebrated Shooter Jennings. These forthcoming releases signify an ongoing dedication to his craft and further expand his authentic contribution to the outlaw country genre, appealing to both his established loyal following and new audiences.
