Info zu Fool In A King Size Bed

Woodstock, Georgia-born Kenny Whitmire grew up hearing the rock and country sounds his pastor and musician father would play around the house, while also soaking in the rap music flowing through his school’s football locker room. By high school, Whitmire was lured by the sounds of some of country music’s most revered artists.

“I was just so blown away by the vocal,” Whitmire says. “What draws me in first is someone’s voice. In my opinion, you can’t beat Vince Gill, Keith Whitley and Merle Haggard singing. I was pretty much caught from the get-go on that stuff.”

Like his influences, Whitmire brings his own warm, burnished voice to his breakthrough hit “I Gave Her The Moon,” which he wrote with Lynn Hutton and Cam Newby. The tender song about giving a lover all he had only to find it was not enough has impacted fans and artists including pop singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who covered the song on social media. Whitmire has followed with “Thought Twice About Loving You,” “Me Being Me” and “You’re Getting Colder.”

As a songwriter, Whitmire has also penned cuts for artists including Austin Snell (“Some Things Just Stick”) and Colin Stough (“White Trash”). This year, he’s spending time on the road, opening for artists including Tracy Lawrence, Billy Currington and Ian Munsick.

On June 12, fans will hear a deeper well of his musical offerings with the EP Fool in a King Size Bed, including the title track he wrote with Kat Higgins and Rhett Akins.

“Rhett is a huge inspiration for me, and it’s been cool to continue working with him,” Whitmire says. “I actually just left the room from writing with him again today. I’m excited about that song and I’m hopeful that it will touch a lot of people. But I’ve also got some up-tempo stuff finally coming out. I’ve been putting out a bunch of ballads, so I’m excited to show off another side to my artistry.”

Kenny Whitmire
Georgia-born MCA crooner Kenny Whitmire is cutting through the noise with a “rich, wine-smooth vocal… steeped in timeless country sounds reminiscent of Randy Travis and Keith Whitley” (Billboard).Relocating to Nashville in 2022 from Woodstock, GA after one semester of college, Whitmire fell quickly into Music City’s songwriting community, sharpening plain spoken-yet-profound story songs and a quietly confident vocal, and honing in on his authentic take on the throwback sound he grew up on.

The everyman upstart writes, sings, lives, and breathes traditional country music, with a classic bent and undeniable beer joint appeal, drawing inspiration from predecessors like Merle Haggard and Daryle Singletary. Fueled by an unexpected combination ofa rabid, grassroots fandom and Charlie Puth-fueled internet magic, Whitmire is ascending to new heights now, releasing his in-demand originals like “I GaveHer The Moon,” “Me Being Me,” and “You’re Getting Colder.” His seven-track debut EP,Fool In a KingSize Bed, which includes breakout hit“I Gave Her The Moon,”is set forJune 12. Catch Kenny on the road throughout 2026, supportingTracy Lawrence, Billy Currington, Ian Munsick, and more.
