Telling tales from their upbringing and continuing in the tradition of American storytellers like Bruce Springsteen and Brandon Flowers, The Wholesome Boys have crafted a sound for their debut album that feels both contemporary and timeless. Set to propulsive backbeats and echoing guitars, The Wholesome Boys went from waiting tables in Nashville to piloting their van 12,000 miles, playing 70+ performances together and supporting artists like Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, and Clint Black.
While on the road Andrew, Dylan, Frank and Nate began to write as a unit. Finding that their new collaborative material and sound was resonating with diverse audiences across the country, the Boys were determined to capture on record the shared urgency and energy from their live show. Teaming up with producer Ben Rice (Joan Osborne, The National) the Boys spent the wintery month of January 24' hunkered down in Brooklyn at Degraw Sound to unpack the material they had written on the road and distill their collective vision.
The resulting self titled album is infused with gritty authenticity and packed with anthemic songs of hope and possibility. The first AND THIRD SINGLES, "Desert Diamonds," AND "tonight it's just us" were featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Rock playlist and received radio play on WRLT Lightning 100, Nashville’s Independent Radio.
