Chicago’s Whitney is a fairly new band just having released their debut album “Light Upon the Lake”. Whitney make casually melancholic music that combines the wounded drawl of Townes Van Zandt, the rambunctious energy of Jim Ford, the stoned affability of Bobby Charles, the American otherworldliness of The Band, and the slack groove of early Pavement.
Since releasing their first single, “No Woman,” in January and following it up with Golden Daysafter a much talked about SXSW, Whitney has proven to be one of the most exciting new bands of 2016. Both singles earned Pitchfork Best New Track honors and a flurry of additional press accolades. Their quick rise has landed them tours with Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Wild Nothing and several major festival plays including Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Pitchfork Music Festival, Outside Lands, Oya, End Of The Road and more.
Their current tour brings them to the Triple Rock on 9/8 supported by Hoops. Tickets are still available HERE
