Keith Whitley’s Homecoming Concert

May 9, 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the passing of Keith Whitley,
who was 34-years-old at the time of his death. When Keith first achieved
major success in the early 1980s, he began returning each year to his
hometown of Sandy Hook, Ky. for what would become an annual
Keith Whitley Homecoming Concert. It was his way of giving back to the community and the people he loved and cherished. 

To honor his father’s memory and music, Jesse Keith Whitley is reviving
the Homecoming Concert tradition this year, with special guests
Stephen Cochran and
Bryan Moffitt.

The special concert will be held on May 9 at 7 p.m. ET at Lakeside
Elementary School, 155 Lakeside School Road, in Sandy Hook, Ky. Advanced
tickets are $10 and day of tickets are $15. Kids 12 and under are free.

Jesse
will recapture some of his dad’s magic in the homecoming show,
performing many of Keith’s songs, including “Don’t Close Your Eyes,”
“Kentucky Bluebird” and “Miami, My Amy.” He will also debut his own
forthcoming single, “Shadows,” a story about an envisioned conversation
between him and his father, who is indeed a “hard act to follow.”

Though Jesse’s voice is hauntingly reminiscent of his dad’s, he has
worked to craft his own distinctive style. At 26-years-old, he is
touring extensively and has already shared the stage for sold-out
concerts with many artists, including Mark Chesnutt, Sammy Kershaw,
Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts and The Eli Young Band. In addition, he
made his debut on the
Grand Ole Opry on May 9, 2013 to a standing ovation and an encore.

He is a rising star that comes from country royalty on both sides of his
family.  His mother is country superstar Lorrie Morgan and his
grandfather is
Grand Ole Opry legend George Morgan.
