Who: Wheeland Brothers
Acoustic Surf Blues Roots
We are the Wheeland Brothers. Two Southern California brothers (Nate & Travis Wheeland) who grew up in Orange County surfing, scarfing down hole-in-the wall Mexican food, and jamming around the campfire. We combine the cool attitude and summertime energy of reggae with the down-to-earth, organic honesty of acoustic rock, barefoot country, and ukulele sunset jams. After an inspiring trip to Kalalau on the island of Kauai, we set out to write and record our first album, ‘Toast to the Coast’ (2012)… then our second album, ‘Muchos Mahalos’ (2013),… Now the adventure continues with the release of our new album, ‘Lost in the Key of Sea’ (2016). We’re stoked to have played all over California, west coast to east coast, and the Virgin Islands at festivals such as Cali Roots, KAABOO, Firefly, Wakarusa, Summercamp, Love City Music Festival… and every beach bonfire in between.
