ABOUT WHEY JENNINGS: Whey Jennings delivers gritty, outlaw-leaning country rooted in tradition and powered by modern storytelling. With a booming baritone and a sound inspired by classic 1970s country, his music blends raw honesty with rough-around-the-edges authenticity. Across three EPs—Gypsy Soul, If It Wasn’t for the Sinnin’, and Just Before the Dawn—Whey crafts songs that balance hard-earned truth with melody-driven, straight-shooting country. His upcoming full-length album, Jekyll & Hyde (August 23, 2024), showcases his strongest and most focused body of work yet, reinforcing his place as a torchbearer for traditional country with a modern edge.
