Whaley is a dynamic band from Long Island, New York, led by the songwriter and powerful performer Logan Whaley. His evocative style translates into unforgettable live sets, blending a fusion of funk, rock, R&B, reggae, and jazz into a sound that defies categorization. The band's rhythm section features drummer and vocalist Nick Balzano, a stalwart of the Long Island music scene for over a decade. On bass and vocals is Andrew Pomerantz, a seasoned jazz musician from the Long Island/NYC music scene. Andrew infuses the music with spontaneity and improvisation, crafting rhythmic melodic bass lines that complement the ensemble. These 3 along with Sean Hammond on Woodwinds, collaborate on Logan’s elaborate catalog of musical & lyrical sketches to craft Whaley’s songs. Adding to the band's rich sound is producer, keyboardist, and saxophonist Daveer Mohan. A longtime collaborator with Logan, Daveer is the magic sauce behind Whaley's recordings, serving as the lead engineer at his private studio. He also joins the stage for festivals and hometown shows, enhancing the band's live performances with his expertise. Whaley's debut album, 'Funky Tonight,' showcases their signature blend of funk, rock, and reggae across ten tracks. The album has been praised for its infectious dancefloor energy and the band's tight interplay, creating a vibrant work that crackles with energy. With a commitment to musical exploration and a passion for live performance, Whaley continues to captivate audiences with their genre-defying sound and evocative style.
