Whey Jennings in Concert
to Benefit Lyles Station

Get ready for an awesome night of music with Whey Jennings, all for a great cause supporting the Lyles School & Museum!

Whey Jennings is coming to the Gibson County Fairgrounds Pavilion in Princeton, Indiana, on September 27, 2026! 

Grab your tickets NOW at this Eventbrite link.

Country songwriter Whey Jennings is an independent Nashville recording artist who first emerged in 2012. Whey hails from one of Country music’s most respected family names, being the grandson of the late Waylon Jennings, one of the original Outlaws. He isn’t trying to be anyone but himself. Whey’s story has proved how he’s carved a path in life and in music that is uniquely his own. On his terms, his sound and style are true Jennings and grounded in authenticity every step of the way.

 

Leading as one of the modern country’s remaining traditionalist torchbearers, he has grown steadily, beginning with his trio of EP’s- Gypsy Soul (2020), If It Wasn’t for the Sinnin’ (2022), and Just Before The Dawn (2023). In the summer of 2024, his debut full-length album, Jekyll & Hyde, was a critically acclaimed release that debuted at #10 on Apple iTunes’ Top 40 Country Albums chart and #7 on iTopChart’s Top Country Music Album chart. His 2026 album Baptized in Fire unveils his rawest and most vulnerable songs to date, balancing his grit and grace with country storytelling and becoming his most gospel-laced set of songs to date.

Opening for Jennings is local favorite Rodney Watts, along with his daughter Mackenzie, Country Music entertainers born and raised in Indiana.    

Watts, a retired US Soldier, is “singing for the American Soldier” and has opened for Kenny Chesney, Tracy Lawrence, Gary Allan,  Collin Raye, Montgomery Gentry, and many more.  He debuted his music video “Rodeo Girl” here in Princeton in June 2025.

Lyles Station Historic School and Museum invites the community to view a replica of one of America’s most famous Revolutionary War lanterns as part of the nationwide America 250 commemoration honoring the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

This traveling lantern has been making its way through Indiana, lighting the way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. 

 

A symbol of the American Revolution and Paul Revere’s 1775 ride to warn the countryside of the British invasion, the America 250th Traveling Lantern will be on permanent display in Indianapolis at the Indiana War Memorial after making its way through Indiana’s counties. 

The lantern is a symbol of the signal displayed on April 18, 1775, from the steeple of Boston’s Old North Church.  Patriot leaders displayed the lanterns in the church steeple as a signal that the British troops would leave Boston, with the famous line “One if by land, two if by sea,” memorialized in the poem “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Revere, along with William Dawes, Dr. Samuel Prescott, and others rode to inform colonial patriots that British forces were crossing the Charles River by boat.

A replica of the traveling lantern will be on permanent display in Lyles Station after it visits other spots in the county.
