When it comes to music being made by Kentuckians, most think of bluegrass or country. But even though Sean Whiting was raised along the Country Music Highway (Route 23), he is turning that narrative on its head. With bold vocals backed by a bluesy and hard-driving rock sound, Sean Whiting and the Big Badness are making a name for themselves all over the Appalachian region and beyond. Immense guitar tones and powerful drums compliment Whiting’s strong and smooth vocals. Their sound draws influence from mid-late 20th century classic rock combined with a little swampy soul and blues. The combination makes for an electric stage presence and captivating live show.
