Whalebone

Whalebone’s distinctive sound is created from a mix of many genres, merging Celtic music with bluesy riffs and traditional tunes with rock flash to create a unique and joyful blend. These far ranging influences combined with dexterous finger work and energetic live performances have built them a reputation amongst fans with a diverse array of musical tastes. With artistic sensitivity always at the fore coupled with their charismatic rapport at live shows Whalebone continue to seduce audiences wherever they perform.

With a sound that hints at Fairport, Flook and acoustic Led Zep without the vocals, Whalebone’s music is a marriage of folk music and classic guitar rock played on acoustic guitars and fiddle, combining upfront spellbinding musicianship, infectious driving rhythms and exuberant presentation. The trio’s performances feature fiery and emotive original material, supercharged renditions of traditional music and wild re-workings of rock guitar classics played with dazzling virtuosity.
