Chicago-based alt-indie band Whitney have come speeding back onto the scene, announcing their first major U.S. tour since 2017, in support of their upcoming new release (details yet to be revealed). The trek, which begins mid-August, will snake quickly across the US and into the UK/EU, showcasing many of the new songs live for the first time ever. Pre-sale is currently available for fans on the band’s email list and general on-sale begins here this Friday, March 8th. See a list of dates below.
Led by vocalist/drummer Julien Ehrlich and guitarist Max Kakacek, the alt-rock seven-piece have amassed quite a following in just two short years, and are still reeling from the reception of their debut album, Light Upon The Lake (2016). Its exceptional, unfussy combination of soul and breezy sixties/seventies-inspired rock is warm and familiar, and gets us excited for what’s to come.
