Wholihan Shares Dried Up Creek

I’ve been playing catch up this morning, as I took off immediately after SXSW to hit up a family vacation, so the emails are everywhere! Which is how I hit upon Wholihan, an artists new to me, but whose voice is certainly something I’ve been drawn to this morning. The artist has a slew of observational singles to his name, but his latest for some reason recalled Eef Barzelay, partly because the voice was distinctive, but also because there was this way with his wordplay that really highlighted the poetic craft. Musically, the song takes on a songwriter’s craft, albeit with a bit of a down-trodden nature due to the tones and self-deprecation. Try this one on for size.
