Whiety Morgan and the 78's

Whiety Morgan and the 78's live at Carpool. Doors open at 6:00PM, $5.00 door cover starts at 9:00PM, and the band starts at 9:30PM.  We are a 21+ establishment at all times. 

Formed in 2005 and hailing from Flint, Michigan where the factories are closed, jobs are scarce and the people are bitter; Eric Allen, better know as Whitey, channels the spirit of Waylon, Merle and Willie. With the classic themes of country music (drinking, prison, hitting the road, loving and leaving women) as the only options for the residents of Flint, Whitey and the boys have distilled the essence of country music into 150 proof melodies to help people forget their problems for a few hours and serve as the guideline for drinking sorrows away. Their Small Stone debut “Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels” will bring out everyone’s dancing shoes and while Whitey plays, the world is a better place.  This has not gone unnoticed outside of Flint, as Whitey Morgan has in very short order managed to share the stage with the likes of Shooter Jennings, David Alan Coe, Hank Williams III, Richie Albright and the legendary Leon Russell. (Hooked on the Fly)
