Who Is Whitney?
Whitney is a Chicago-based indie rock band formed in 2015 by guitarist Max Kakacek and drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich. The two started the project after their previous band, Smith Westerns, ended. Whitney’s sound blends indie folk, soft rock, and country soul.
Their 2016 debut, Light Upon The Lake, earned widespread critical acclaim for its warm tones, falsetto-led vocals, and brass-inflected arrangements. Subsequent releases — Forever Turned Around (2019), the covers album Candid (2020), and Spark (2022) — trace a clear evolution. Spark leans toward classic pop, Candid explores a range of genres through covers, and Forever Turned Around holds onto a psych-folk core.
Whitney has appeared at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Festival, Coachella, and Primavera Sound. Their soulful, brass-infused sound aligns closely with Caamp’s Americana-rooted sets, which makes this fall pairing feel musically cohesive.
