Feature
ARTISTThe
Wholetones
Formed in 2007 when Alex Dorris and Taylor Freydberg met
at a local bluegrass jam, the Wholetones were later
completed with the addition of Russ Depa on upright
bass, and Mayo Coates on drums. They play a unique mix
of bluegrass, folk, jazz, and metal, all translated
through acoustic instruments. Combining impressive
technical skill with the spontaneity of jazz and drive
of bluegrass, they put on a captivating live show,
jumping from folk to metal as easily as they do from
banjo to cello.
The Wholetones’ blend of genres is a result of the four
members’ enormously varied musical appetite. They play
and listen to reggae, metal, hip-hop, bluegrass, and
everything in between, and the end product is a truly
original sound.
