The Stage was set for Whey at The Shed with a beautiful red curtain backdrop, red candles that glowed and a beautiful crystal chandelier above the stage.
Whey took to the stage to a cheering sold out crowd , wearing jeans a red shirt and his signature black hat.
He Started off with one of his original songs a fast upbeat song called “ Wild Child” and he got the crowd going from the start. He did a mixture of his own songs and some of his legendary grandfathers songs. Including : “ I’ve Always Been Crazy” “ Lonesome , On’ry, and Mean” “ The Highwayman” “ Waymore Blues” “ Luckenbach Texas” “ I’m a Ramblin Man” “ Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line” . He did his song “ The Gun” which is a Pro second amendment anthem song written from the perspective of the gun. Whey took us all to church when he sang his songs “ Hallelujah” and the emotional “ Lead Me Home” . He Held one of the red candles in the air as he sang and everyone was waving their arms above their heads. Whey also did a few cover songs from Lynyrd Skynyrd and his band did the ZZ Top song “ Sharp Dressed Man” with his guitarist Pat Burr on Vocals while Whey took a break. Whey Did a new song soon be released called “ Jekyll and Hyde” . It was another Awesome song so be on the lookout for it. Whey’s Show’s have lots of energy and he has that natural born Jennings talent. It was a great show! I Highly Recommend seeing him.
Opening The Show was Nashville recording artist Sam Lowe. Sam is a country music singer songwriter from the hills of Virginia. He is currently on a national tour with Whey Jennings. Sam Got his Big Break one night when he walked into a club and the band didn’t show up . So he ended up taking the spot and as they say the rest is history ! Sam did an acoustic set with a mix of his originals and some covers songs. I remember him doing a great cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd song ” Ballad of Curtis Loew” and Blackberry Smokes ” Good one Comin On” . He did a great job starting off the night.
