Formed in the spring of 2009, The Whiskey Gentry is a group of Atlanta misfits that defy categorization in Atlanta's saturated music market. From old time country to Americana to bluegrass, The Whiskey Gentry combine accomplished musicianship with high energy live performances that are sure to provide many a night of pickin' and dancin' for the southeast music scene. Having recently been chosen by Paste Magazine as the "Best of What's Next," The Whiskey Gentry have established themselves among the Atlanta music elite. They have shared the stage with artists such as Doc Watson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Rhett Miller of the Old 97s, John Popper, Ed Roland of Collective Soul, Chatham County Line, Slobberbone, among many other national
touring acts.

  The band is currently celebrating the release of it first full-length record, "Please Make Welcome." Engineered and coproduced by John Keane, whose credits include work with R.E.M., Indigo Girls and Wide Spread Panic among others, the 14 track album is a culmination of two years worth of writing and recording. "Please Make Welcome" ably captures the band's exhilarating live sound intermixing country, bluegrass, punk, gospel and rock, often within the same song. These elements are woven together with Lauren Staley Morrow's innocently stunning vocals, rendering an expressive compilation of
folk tales.
