About Whitey Morgan and the 78's:
With a career rooted in grit, soul, and over 15 years of relentless touring, Whitey Morgan has long stood as one of the fiercest torchbearers of outlaw country. Hailing from Flint, Michigan, Morgan has released six acclaimed studio albums, a powerful live record, and earned a reputation as a relentless road warrior—averaging more than 125 shows per year. As Rolling Stone put it, he’s a “Waylon Jennings acolyte... a modern-day outlaw [with a] hard-hitting blue-collar brand of music,” while NPR praised him for staying true to the lineage of legends like Jennings, Merle Haggard, and David Allan Coe.
Since the release of 2018’s Hard Times and White Lines—called his "finest set yet" by American Songwriter—Morgan has only deepened his impact, playing to packed clubs and sold-out theaters across the country. In 2024, he reached a defining milestone with his official debut at the Grand Ole Opry, a moment that signified more than just a career benchmark—it solidified his place in country music’s living legacy.
Whitey Morgan’s creative resurgence came full force in early 2025 with the release of three new singles produced by Shooter Jennings. These tracks—gritty, soulful, and unmistakably Morgan—marked a powerful return to the studio. “Let Me Roll,” the lead single, set the tone with its raw heartland sound, followed by two equally compelling releases that proved Morgan’s songwriting is as vital as ever.
Now, Whitey Morgan & the 78’s continue to push forward—onstage, in the studio, and on their own terms. With a loyal fanbase built one show at a time, Morgan remains one of country music’s most enduring and authentic voices—an artist for the outsiders, the true believers, and anyone who still finds salvation in a steel guitar and a hard truth.
More on Leroy from the North:
Bio: LA based, Americana/rock band, Leroy From the North, could best be described as a velour track suit with a Cowboy hat. influenced by the sounds of 70's country gold, mixed with a little Detroit steel, Leroy is just a short dune buggy ride away from the nearest YMCA or above ground pool.
