Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek

Bio

Whitney is a folk rock/Americana duo from Chicago, formed in 2015 by guitarist Max Kakecek and drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich. The pair have spent the last decade navigating life side-by-side, exploring the cycles they have experienced together through their music. Across their four albums, they have consistently blended the past and present, showing that love doesn’t simply slip away if you find a way to carry it with you. On their latest album, Small Talk, they put all they’ve been carrying together and individually on the table, and begin asking the questions that may not have clear answers. Because the only way forward—and the only way we can push past the chatter—is to question where we’ve been, and where we might be going.
