Weird to think San Francisco band Or, the Whale began through a Craigslist ad titled, “Wanna Form a Sweet Country Rock Band?” It worked. The last four years have brought much success for Or, the Whale with appearances on Good Morning America and USA Today, a spread in Billboard mag and sold-out shows. Their mix of country folk rock has had them touring with the Devil Makes 3, The Dodos and more.
Or, the Whale recorded Light Poles and Pines over a long weekend but are taking more time with their new album. Their sophomore album is set to release on September 22. New tour dates below. Get your dancing shoes on, they’ll rock you.
