Jeffrey Wayne

Jeffrey Wayne is a hard driving country artist from the Hills of West Virginia. Deep roots and a love of traditional and outlaw country have sculpted his sound and writing style. Originating from Georgia and spending his late teens in West Virginia, Wayne has instilled love for the mountain state, adding unique grit to his sound.

Wayne states, “My goal is to write songs that speak to people, that stick with people, to have the song that people associate with a place in their life.”

His album Whiskey Stains is a raw, soulful journey through the heart of Americana and country music. Wayne captures the essence of life’s hard-won lessons, from lost love to late-night reflections.
