Freelance guitarist and vocalist BRENDAN WHELAN joined the band armed with his arsenal of killer tones, textures and effects. An interest in many styles of music, including blues, jazz, classic rock, hard and progressive rock styles, plus a lifetime of engineering and performing in the heart of Silicon Valley, have led him to perfect his guitar rig and shredding style. Brendan plays with the band when we travel into the North Bay Area and beyond. He's right in the pocket with our deep grooves so we are really happy to have him.
