NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 22, 2025) – Commemorating Memorial Day, Nashville recording artist and country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings will release a new music visualizer for his patriotic song “One Folded” [Preview/Embed/Share] on his YouTube channel and social media, Friday, May 23 at 1pm ET. The content was filmed while Jennings sang “One Folded” as part of a special collaborative performance with The Mobile Symphonic Pops Band during their annual Veteran’s Day Concert on November 11, 2024 at USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama.
“Reminding everyone that freedom isn’t free, this song’s message is of extreme importance to me personally, and something we need to consider more than one day a year,” Jennings said. “This is why I made sure it was on my first ever album I released, and why I sing this song at all my shows.”
Though Jennings didn’t write the song himself, with it being written by Shenandoah’s Marlon L Raybon, Michael Anthony Curtis, and Gordon MaGee, the song’s message was a necessary part for his critically acclaimed 2024 debut album, Jekyll & Hyde [stream/listen/buy], which debuted at #10 on iTunes Top 40 US Country Albums chart, #7 on iTopChart’s Top Country Music Album chart, & #39 on PopVortex’s iTunes Top 100 Albums chart in August. Songs from the album have been hailed by Fox News, Billboard, People Magazine, Forbes, Taste of Country, Cowboys & Indians, Men’s Journal, Rodeo Life Magazine and was one of the most anticipated albums of 2024 by SavingCountryMusic.com.
In addition to the video release, Whey shared his personal Spotify playlist [click to listen/embed] with his favorite patriotic songs, and is calling upon fans to celebrate their own family and friends military heroes by posting their pictures in the comments field of the YouTube video, creating a virtual wall of honor.

About Whey Jennings:
Country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings was born into one of country music’s most iconic family names, first emerging in 2012 as another naturally gifted singer from the Jennings tribe. With large boots to fill, the young Nashville recording artist and singer-songwriter for Dirt Rock Empire, with a booming baritone voice as big as Texas, finds himself with a few expectations to live up to. Seeking to establish his own musical legacy as one of the few remaining torch-bearing country traditionalists out there, Whey can instantly take his fans back to a time and sound his Grandfather Waylon and Grandmother Jessi gave birth to in the 70’s, even with his own songs.
With three studio recorded EP releases under his belt, 2020’s Gypsy Soul, 2022’s If It Wasn’t for The Sinnin’, and 2023’s Just Before The Dawn, Jennings is now preparing for his magnum opus of songs, his first full length album, the highly anticipated Jekyll & Hyde, due out August 23, 2024. Many of Whey’s songs reveal stories of how he has come to terms with a checkered past of too much partying, led by a drug-fueled lifestyle, but knowing he needed to make a change. Musical stories about struggles, addiction, finding sobriety, and redemption through faith in God, family and his friends. Interjecting his own modern-day approach to songwriting and storytelling, while remaining a little rough around the edges, Whey’s unpolished grit and honest demeanor defines his sound, with musical roots that run as deep as his Jennings family name would imply.
