Whey Jennings is making a stop at The Kennedy on his Jekyll & Hyde Tour. Please swing by for an acoustic set of his new record.

Country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings was born into one of country music’s most iconic family names, first emerging in 2012 as another naturally gifted singer from the Jennings tribe. With large boots to fill, the young Nashville recording artist and singer-songwriter for Dirt Rock Empire, with a booming baritone voice as big as Texas, finds himself with a few expectations to live up to. Seeking to establish his own musical legacy as one of the few remaining torch-bearing country traditionalists out there, Whey can instantly take his fans back to a time and sound his Grandfather Waylon and Grandmother Jessi gave birth to in the 70’s, even with his own songs.

An Ozarks native, Liz Moriondo is live at The Kennedy.

“Liz is the real deal. She grew up in the Ozarks fishing and hunting. She just happens to be in Nashville now showing the world what an amazing singer-songwriter she is.”

Liz Moriondo is a singer, a guitar player, a songwriter, a dreamer. Her dynamic voice is a force of nature. Just give her an audience and you’ll witness a young woman doing exactly what she was born to do.
