Whitey Morganโ€”who sold his Martin acoustic guitar in a drawing for $25 with no rhyme or reason last monthโ€”brings his Waylon Jennings-esque vocals for what appears to be Morganโ€™s Tampa debut. The Michigan-based artistโ€™s songbook includes booze and beyond, along with a few country non-standards, and even a version of Bruce Springsteenโ€™s โ€œIโ€™m On Fire.โ€

Tickets to see Whitey Morgan and the 78s play Tampa’s Orpheum on Friday, Dec. 1 are still available and cost $25.
