Biography
Wheeland Brothers are two Southern Californian brothers who grew up in Orange County surfing, scarfing down hole-in-the wall Mexican food, and jamming around bonfires. Their music has a sound which they describe as “beach rock reggae”; inspired by waves, hangin’ with friends, and dreaming of distant shores.They combine the cool attitude and summertime energy of reggae with the down-to-earth, organic honesty of acoustic rock and ukulele lullabies.
After an inspiring trip to Kalalau on the island of Kauai in 2010, the brothers (Nate “Frogg” and Travis Wheeland) set out to write and record their first album “Toast to the Coast”. Combining forces with their friends (Marcus Agundes and Brandon Lark), they began developing their sound and performing at venues all over OC. Recently in May 2012 their album was released along with the music video for their first single “Sand in My Sheets” which has since been added to retail playlists in stores such as Hollister Co. Their second music video was released in October 2012, featuring rising surf star Tia Blanco.
Over the past year, Wheeland Brothers have opened shows for Donovan Frankenreiter and Collie Buddz among others and have recently performed at iconic California venues such as The Troubadour, The Catalyst and the House of Blues and will be playing The Roxy Theatre on December 1st.
