Rambling from Buffalo, NY, for a performance in neighboring Rochester, NY, Whitetails brings a wavy, melodic, yet energizing sound to the intimate stage at the Skylark Lounge on Union Street.

Whitetails’ enclave aesthetically embellishes folk characteristics and adds a musical emphasis on an indie-rock sound. It would be unwise to misrepresent the clear attention to detail, time, energy, and passion that the band places in the curation of their set, along with their stylistic stage presence.

Lead singer harmonizing vocals with the group’s ethereal-indie sound

The band’s vocalist brings an indie sound to the group with an elegant tenor vocal range. His uniquely indie vocals enchant the audience and offer a somewhat ethereal presence through high-pitched sounds and a medley of whisper-style effects. Whitetails’ multi-instrumental pianist and electric violinist grafts a seemingly classically trained sound into the band’s floating compositions, which offers a unique texture that drives the listener’s ears and gaze directly to the artists. A rarity, it can be a real pleasure to witness an electric violinist’s performance at these types of local events.

As for the percussionist on drums, this talented artist brings a beat that resembles some of the old avant-garde legends in the jazz world. Rhythmically, the group gives a feel that you’re watching an indie-esque Art Blakey set.
