Singer/songwriter and former Dwight Yoakam multi-instrumentalist, Brian Whelan is set to release his sophomore solo album, Sugarland, on March 25. Co-Produced by fellow Yoakam-ite and current drummer Mitch Marine, alongside Lee Pardini, Whelan, a music school graduate from USC, plays almost anything with keys or strings -- steel guitar, accordion, piano. For Sugarland, he employs a series of various musical instruments on the pop rock tunes.
After graduating from USC, Whelan began a long journey as a sideman accompanying such artists as Eugene Edwards, Scot Bruce, The Broken West, Apex Manor, Randy Weeks, Mike Stinson, Tony Gilkyson, KISS, Chuck Berry, Jim Lauderdale and most recently, Yoakam. Then in 2012, Whelan released his debut solo album, “Decider,” which garnered much critical acclaim.
