New York, NY -- Waylon-esque troubadour Whitey Morgan -- who releases his newest full-length album 'Sonic Ranch' on May 19th -- announced an exclusive partnership with the Paradigm Talent Agency this week.
The definitive working man's musician's incredible dedication is reflected in his rapidly growing fan base. Morgan leaves nothing on the table when it comes to the live show. "The fans are the most important part of this business, says Whitey Morgan. They work damn hard for their money and that needs to be respected at all times," shares the imposing, 6'4" Flint native. "The best way I can do that is to put on one hell of a show every time I hit the stage."
Rolling Stone Country says it best, "it's the ferocity of Morgan's performances that makes him truly transfixing." With more than 200 headlining shows, as well as purposeful special guest appearances with major headliners - including fellow Michigander Bob Seger -- it's pretty easy to find him in a market near you.
To a road warrior like Whitey, finding the right booking agency was critical. "Paradigm firmly understands what it means to work hard. Partnering with Jonathan Levine and Joe Atamian was an easy choice. It started with respect and was immediately followed with an absolute dedication to my vision."
"Whitey is as real as they come and his live show is second to none. Its always a pleasure to work with an artist who is willing to put in the time to develop the right way, and that is exactly what Whitey and his team have done the last few years," shares Paradigm's Joe Atamian.
"Whitey's continued growth and development as one of the finest young touring artists is something we consider sacred. As Whitey enters this next important phase of his career, one thing is certain: wherever Whitey performs, new fans are made. That's a rare and wondrous things these days," added Jonathan Levine.
Morgan, and his band the 78s, will continue touring through the summer in support of 'Sonic Ranch' with dates in May that include New York City's "Midtown Live" (5.14) and the Whiskey A Go Go (5.23).
Recorded at Sonic Ranch in Texas with producer Ryan Hewitt (The Avett Brothers, Red Hot Chili Peppers), the album's fighting spirit reflects Morgan's childhood living in the economically troubled region just outside the Motor City. "Growing up in Flint ignited the 'never give up' attitude I apply to every part of my life," Morgan says. "That's what you learn when you grow up in that town. You also learn that you don't take sh*t from anyone, ever."
