Band WebsiteYou're lookin' at it!
InfluencesBen Harper, Cat Stevens, Damien Rice, Days of the New, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Jose Gonzalez, Tool, the intriguing people that I have the pleasure to call friends.
Sounds Like"Andrew Whelan’s recent solo project, is perhaps the best new sound of the year. The hard-edged, jangly melodies from the acoustic-core generation (circa Days of the New) have been reinterpreted using Whelan’s bluesy, open-faced riffs, infusing the guitar with a lush and often ethereal quality. Vocals are more reminiscent of the bands from the 80’s who boasted black jackets, serrated haircuts and bad teeth (basically your pimply, younger brother’s heroes) – The Police, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, Teenage Fanclub. But even these influences have been dusted-off, ironed out, drained of their intrinsic whininess, and used in powering the humorous, love-sick lyrics. Whelan is the most innovative songwriter since Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain, Bradley Nowell, Shannon Hoon, Elliott Smith, etc. etc. and I elect to put him inside a large, plastic hamster bubble, to ensure nothing bad happens to him." -Kiik A.K.

   About Andrew Whelan - Music
I'm a meticulously spontaneous, hopelessly optimistic, pragmatically romantic guy organically producing his own music as a labor of love. Basically, I'm a walking oxymoron trying to sort out the beautiful chaos of life through music. I've always written music on my own but I am very open to collaborations of any kind. Please feel free to contact me with ideas or suggestions. I must apologize for the poor recording quality right now but, like a fine wine, I expect the music here to improve with age and exposure to the air... a record contract would help too. UPDATE: I am beginning to record a new demo and will have growing list of shows in February so stay tuned for details!
