Episode 27 – Brian Whelan

This Week On Walking The Floor

Los Angeles-based Seattle native Brian Whelan walks us through his journey coming up through the LA roots scene, joining Dwight Yoakam’s band, and committing full time as a solo artist.

 

About The Guest

With instrumental abilities that made him a key member of Dwight Yoakam’s band, a voice reminiscent of Jackson Browne and a Top 10 lyrical streak that makes him seem like he’s been writing hook-laden hits for years – Brian Whelan is poised to attract a much wider audience with each and every upcoming release. Whelan, who majored in music at USC, plays almost anything with keys or strings — steel guitar, accordion, piano – playing just about every musical instrument possible on crisp, clean, streamlined, mostly mid-tempo pop rock tunes that go straight to the heart with a sonic sense that recalls the heyday of great radio.
