Whiskerman Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Joining soulful rock and lush instrumentation with the profound lyricism of lead singer Graham Patzner’s songs, Oakland, CA band Whiskerman has crafted a sound ranging from soulful and rocking to mysterious and introspective. Patzner’s voice, both smokey and soaring, leads a passionate live show as the band’s classic rock sound dives into psychedelic soul rock with tinges of raga, blues, country, and folk. Their performances are a transcendental experience of reckless abandon as their musicality meets raw emotion and spirit. Joining Patzner s (vocals, guitar, violin and piano), is Will Lawrence (bass and mandolin), Nick Cobbett (drums), and Charles Lloyd (guitar and sitar). "When they're revved up, Whiskerman sounds like a gospel and soul band that can make you feel like raising your hands in the air in praise of its talent. In their quieter songs, there's a storytelling vibe with intricate melodies." (SF Chronicle) Their latest release is Champions, a sprawling double-album masterpiece that takes the listener on a hero’s journey through barroom rock n’ roll, blue eyed soul, pastoral folk, workingman’s blues, and rainy day ragas. “On Champions Whiskerman present ecstatic psychedelia, sturdily constructed pop-rock, pick-and-grin folk all together as a single picture.” (Flood Magazine)
