Details:
Whitney Mann is a singer/songwriter based in Madison, WI who is equally inspired by Willie Nelson and Ingrid Michelson. She plays with a four piece band consisting of acoustic guitar, pedal steel, bass and drums and fits into the indie alt-country genre being made more popular by the likes of Jenny Lewis. Whitney recorded her debut EP, entitled The Way Back Home, in Milwaukee with producer J. Christopher Hughes (Corey Chisel, Miles Nielsen).

The Way Back Home is the culmination of two years spent writing songs, playing shows, changing band members, and finding âthe right soundâ. The right sound for Whitney is countrified folk songs with an emphasis on vocal melody, harmony, and aching pedal steel. The songs are sad, the lyrics ring true, and the emotion of Whitneyâs voice can not only be heard, but felt.
