Singer and songwriter Jimbo Whaley grew up in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains with music always being a part of his life. Whaley currently performs with the bluegrass band Greenbrier although some remember him for his time with the band Pine Mountain Railroad which he co-founded in 1998. Whaley helped lead this band to become an International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Emerging Artist of the Year nominee for two years in a row. He wrote and performed numerous songs on their chart-topping album including the title cut, The Old Radio, co-written by Roscoe Morgan. The album, produced by multi-Grammy winner Bil VornDick, stayed on the Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine’s Top 15 Album Chart for eight months and the single on the Top 30 Single Chart for 12 consecutive months.
