“If you were to bring a caldron of water to a William
Topley boil, sprinkle in bits of Tom Wait's talking blues
and toss in some Crash Test Dummies clever low grumble moan, you'd get good ole Lance Whalen.”
— SPUN/Nashville
"With a new album in hand, Lance Whalen is ready to sweeten your soul. On the Tracks is full of Lance's sincere, whiskeyesque vocals. Don't miss an opportunity to see him live in his hometown of Nashville, TN."

"Ever Since Forever After, the long-awaited follow-up
to Lance Whalen’s debut She’s Not Coming Tonight,
furthers the young Nashville based singer-
songwriter’s evocative, tender approach to stirring,
soul-baring emotional landscapes. Ever Since Forever
After is a bounteous cornucopia of heartwrenching
Americana-influenced pop songs which yield new
delights upon each hearing. A veteran contributor to the National Guitar Workshop with
dreamy good looks and an acting background, Lance
Whalen is the whole package."
