Since their inception in 2019, Whisky Outlaws have quickly earned a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the 4 States area. Despite the global pandemic, 2021 proved to be a breakout year for Whisky Outlaws. Touring extensively through Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, Whisky Outlaws logged over 100 shows while performing at venues like Georges’s Majestic Lounge and Railyard Live. They have shared the stage with such acts as Trey Lewis, Kevin Galloway of Uncle Lucius, Tanner Usrey, Vincent Neil Emmerson, and Ragland. Whisky Outlaws have released three singles to date - “Hollow Man'' and “One More Round” in 2021 and “Chainsmokin’” in the summer of 2022.
Founding members of Whisky Outlaws, Thaddaeus Morton and Corey Reagin, hail from opposite sides of the country, Montana and Georgia respectively. Both cite that playing in church bands during their formative years as a major influence, lending to a common perspective of music. After relocating to Joplin within 6 months of each other, a chance meeting in a local music store proved there was instant musical chemistry between the two, from which they have not looked back. Having crafted a unique sound that lands somewhere between Nashville and Austin, Georgia and Montana, Whisky Outlaws couple twangy hooks and b-bender riffs with conversational lyrics with a penchant for narrative. Whisky Outlaws draw inspiration from artists such as Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Randy Rogers band, and Turnpike Troubadours
