Born in the backseat of desolate farm land and small congregations, Whitney grew up playing with guns and listening to Willie Nelson. She tickled her first set of ivories when she was seven and strummed her first guitar at nine. She is a real down home kind of girl, looking to provide real down home kind of music that offers a real down home kind of connection to, as she says, 'the simple folk'. Her songs are thoughtful and genuine, yet playful all at once. She is a story-teller at heart, and even if the stories aren't 'feel good', they are still true to the life that surrounds us.
With her cool blend of alt-country and folk, Whitney Mann's rockin' jams are as sweet as her ballads: wide-eyed, intense, seductive. Her songs ache like her broken heart. They will ache like yours when she's through. Veiled beneath her whiskey-tinged voice and stream-lined lyrics exist the lives of farmhands, wayward criminals, sluts. Concealed beneath them are the stories of her life. And beneath them even further; beneath the pound of the bass drum and the slide of the guitar, beneath the walking bass line and the echo of reverberating claps, exists Whitney Mann's philosophy on life. If you listen closely you can hear it.
