Country traditionalist Kenny Whitmire has inked with MCA.

Alongside the signing, he also released his new track “One Foot In The Grave,” and revealed the details for his debut EP Fool In A King Size Bed, releasing June 12.

“Signing with MCA is one of those moments you dream about as a kid,” shares Whitmire. “To finally be here, putting out ‘One Foot In The Grave’ and announcing Fool In A King Size Bed, it means a lot. This EP is a piece of my life, and I hope folks can feel that when they hear it.”

Originally from Georgia, Whitmire moved to Nashville in 2022 after one semester of college. He draws influence from Merle Haggard and Daryle Singletary to form his traditional country sound and songwriting.

The EP features “One Foot In The Grave,” recently released “Thought Twice About Loving You,” “You’re Getting Colder,” “Me Being Me,” and the viral hit “I Gave Her The Moon.”

“‘One Foot In The Grave’ is simply about my love for country music,” adds Whitmire. “My version of a ‘Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox’ type song. I’m happy to have a song like this to put on my debut EP Fool In A King Size Bed. Hope you love it.”

Whitmire will join Tracy Lawrence, Ian Munsick, Billy Currington and more on the road throughout 2026, and make festival appearances at Rock the Country.
