Kenny Whitmire
Georgia-born crooner Kenny Whitmire is cutting through the noise with a “rich, wine-smooth vocal… steeped in timeless country sounds reminiscent of Randy Travis and Keith Whitley” (Billboard). The everyman upstart writes, sings, lives, and breathes traditional country music, with a classic bent and undeniable beer joint appeal, drawing inspiration from predecessors like Merle Haggard and Daryle Singletary.
Relocating to Nashville in 2022 from Woodstock, GA after one semester of college, Whitmire fell quickly into Music City’s songwriting community, sharpening plainspoken-yet-profound story songs and a quietly confident vocal, and honing in on his authentic take on the throwback sound he grew up on. Fueled by an unexpected combination of a rabid, grassroots fandom and Charlie Puth-fueled internet magic, Whitmire is ascending to new heights, with his debut EP, Fool In A King Size Bed, out now. Catch Kenny on the road throughout 2026, supporting Tracy Lawrence, Billy Currington, Ian Munsick, Luke Bryan, Hudson Westbrook, and more.
