Whitney's music is both introspective and relatable, exploring themes of love, loss, and personal growth. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Whitney's passion for music shines through in every note. Discover their incredible talent today.

Whitney's journey as an artist began at a young age when they discovered their love for singing and songwriting. They honed their skills by performing at local venues and collaborating with other musicians. This dedication to their craft led to the release of several successful albums that showcased Whitney's growth as an artist.

Throughout their career, Whitney has been recognized for their exceptional talent with numerous awards and nominations. Their ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level sets them apart from other artists in the industry. With each new release, Whitney continues to push boundaries and evolve as an artist, consistently delivering music that captivates audiences around the world.

Covers have long been an integral part of Whitney's ethos. Ever since the band first formed in a Chicago apartment in 2014, tackling songs by the Everly Brothers, Allen Toussaint, and more played an important part in the songwriting process for their breakthrough 2016 debut ​Light Upon The Lake​. Since then, their takes on NRBQ's Magnet and Neil Young's On the Way Home have become live staples, an essential and communal part of their sets. Their love for the music that makes up their deepest influences has always been genuine and tangible.

Following their acclaimed sophomore 2019 album ​Forever Turned Around​, Whitney have decided to return with a loving tribute to songs that have been formative and lasting to the entire band. ​Ca​ndid​ is a 10-song collection boasting covers of artists like Kelela, David Byrne, John Denver,​ SWV​, and others but it's also a band challenging themselves to explore more than their musical comfort zone. Recorded in January and February of 2020 over multiple sessions at Treehouse Studios in Chicago and ​Flora Recording and Playback in Portland​, ​Candid f​inally sees the full touring band in a recording studio together.

Their chemistry exudes throughout the tracklist but it's especially apparent when they open up the dynamic to their friends, like Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee joining John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads. On the cover of the classic, Ehrlich and Crutchfield's voices merge for a joyous harmony over the chorus. Over eight days at Treehouse Studios, the band would show up in the morning, learn a song together, and choose an instrument, leading to a freewheeling and adventurous atmosphere. Their renditions of SWV's '90s R&amp;B heater Rain or David Byrne and Brian Eno's 2008 track Strange Overtones prove this, as they stretch Whitney into new musical directions.

At its core, ​Candid i​s a celebration of both the songs Whitney has adored throughout its formation and the band's evolving bond through years of relentless touring and an enduring friendship.
