Corbette Jackson

The experiences we face throughout our lives, in many cases, can determine who we become. They not only shape our character, they guide us to our destiny. This is the case for singer-songwriter Corbette Jackson. His life journey consists of a series of events that collided to form the reason he creates fearlessly and the way he embraces and performs music. Corbette Jackson grew up in Newnan, GA with the same interests as any typical small town American kid. However, he was exposed to indigence and an environment rocked by domestic violence at a young age, putting both him and his mother’s safety in jeopardy. In efforts to escape an abusive household, Corbette’s mother took him and his brother and moved to Puerto Rico to temporarily live with Corbette’s grandparents. Despite all of the chaos around him, Corbette found solace by putting on his headphones, walking around the countryside outside of San Juan embracing the music. In those moments, he became aware of his desire to create music that could help others hold on to a sense hope and his vocation to offer a live experience for everyone to be outside of themselves for a while.

Fast forward to Corbette Jackson’s teenage years where he put his destiny in motion by moving to Nashville after graduating from high school. His first musical endeavor was a fund-raising song for a hometown friend who was battling Stage 4 cancer. The release, “Heart of A Champion,” quickly became one of the most requested songs in the Atlanta area and demonstrated to the young singer how his music could connect to affect meaningful action. He went on the road to support the single and his high-octane shows became widely renowned throughout the live music circuit in the southeast. But the relentless touring took its toll.

After the Heart of a Champion Tour, Corbette felt compelled to take time to pursue other interests. He took classes while working in the emergency department of a trauma center at a Tennessee hospital. During his experience there he came face to face with the stark realities of life, which led to his ultimate decision to return to music. “Introspectively, it was a tumultuous time.” says Jackson. “I was trying to decide if music was the path that I wanted to take and what it was that I wanted out of life. Suddenly, I was working in a trauma center where people were fighting to survive under daily basis, where every moment was critical. It had a transformative effect on me, and it t was one of the vital parts of my life that provided me some of the impetus and accountability to live the life that I want and to get out there and do what I believe my creator ultimately put me here to do.”  

After finishing school and wrapping up his time at the hospital, Corbette decided to return to his true passion, creating and performing music. He wrote. He recorded. He started playing live shows again. He found his sound. Now that sound is starting to be heard all over America. Powered by a production team on opposite sides of the globe, in Nashville and in Tokyo, the Georgia native is redefining musical lines and genre boundaries.

Runaway June

Whitey Morgan / Charley Jenkins

Special acoustic show featuring Whitey Morgan from 7:30-9pm. After party with Charley Jenkins from 9pm-close. $10 cover.

Whitey Morgan:

In a career spanning 15 years, Whitey has released five studio albums and a live recording from his hometown of Flint, Michigan. Additionally, he has toured relentlessly averaging over 125 shows annually. Rolling Stone has described him as a "Waylon Jennings acolyte.. modern day outlaw [with a] hard hitting blue-collar brand of music" while NPR Music hailed, "Staying close to the sound and subject matter of classic outlaw artists like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and David Allan Coe, Morgan is poised to lead this hand-worn brand of country to the next generation." His most recent LP, Sonic Ranch (2015), was released to critical acclaim and praised by Detroit Free Press as, "a bold well-crafted album that doesn't forsake the gritty undercurrent running through Morgan's stuff."

Whitey Morgan and the 78's anticipated new album, self-produced by Morgan, was recorded in the Neve Room at famed Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas. Featured on the record are collaborations with acclaimed songwriters Travis Meadows and Ward Davis plus a cover of ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid." Alongside Morgan, the 78's consist of Brett Robinson (pedal steel guitar), Joey Spina (guitar), Alex Lyon (bass) and Eric Savage (drums).

Of the recording, Morgan shares, "It's not like my vision happened overnight. I've been chipping away at it forever. It's slowly evolving and it's going in a little bit different direction. It's not so straightforward anymore. This record definitely has a wider path, it's broader, but it still sounds like a Whitey Morgan record." With grandparents from Tennessee and Kentucky and hometown roots in Flint, Michigan, Morgan's family geography has factored into his approach to music.

Charley Jenkins:

Charley’s country roots are spread throughout his music. Charley Jenkins was raised on a farm in a small town in Eastern Utah where he learned how to rope, ride and work hard. Life on the farm revolved around family, work, and of course, rodeo, which are all themes you will find in Charley’s music. Early on in Charley’s music career, he received some personal advice from one of his biggest musical influences, George Strait. Charley decided to load up his truck with everything he owned and leave his small town to move to Nashville to pursue a career in country music. While in Nashville, Charley worked for a songwriting publishing company on Music Row, became immersed in the country music industry, and befriended many Nashville legends.

Charley eventually left Nashville to return to his hometown to help with the farm and to be with his family and his ailing father, who eventually lost his battle with cancer. Charley said, “Coming home was an easy decision for me, and I will never regret it.” Charley’s second album “Round Here” was released shortly after and is a perfect reflection of who Charley really is and where he came from. The album is also a tribute to his father, and he wrote the very personal song “Hero At Home” for his dad.

 Since then, Charley’s career has gained momentum.  He has maintained a strong presence in the industry over the years by touring and sharing the stage with many other country headliners including Reba McKentire, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lanbert, Lady Antebellum, Josh Turner, Taylor Swift, and many more.
