Event Description

Telling tales from their upbringing in the Rust Belt and on the bayou, and continuing in the tradition of American storytellers like Bruce Spingsteen and Brandon Flowers, The Wholesome Boys have crafted a sound for their debut album that feels both contemporary and timeless. Set to propulsive backbeats and echoing guitars, The Wholesome Boys went from waiting tables in Nashville to piloting their van 12,000 miles, playing over 70 shows and supporting artists like Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, and Clint Black.
While on the road, Andrew, Dylan, Frank, and Nate began to write as a unit. Finding that their new collaborative material and sound was resonating with audiences across the country, the Boys were determined to capture on record the shared urgency and enery from their live show. Teaming up with producer Ben Rice (Joan Osborne, The National) the Boys spent the wintery month of January hunkered down in Brooklyn at Degraw Sound to unpack the material they had written on the road and distill their collective vision.
The resulting debut album, Adelphi (named in reference to both the street where they stayed in Brooklyn and their sense of brotherhood) is infused with gritty authenticity and packed with anthemic songs of hope and possibility. With their finished album in hand, The Wholesome Boys are readying plans for a 2024 release and tour.
