■ Whitney Whitney is an American indie rock band formed in Chicago in 2015. The band was formed shortly after the breakup of members Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich’s band Smith Westerns in late 2014. They released their debut album, Light Upon the Lake, in 2016, and have since released the albums Forever Turned Around (2019), Candid (2020), Spark (2022), and Small Talk (2025)

Whitney
We previously saw Whitney in Oct 2019 and wrote, “Whitney closed out the show. The most interesting thing about this Chicago band is that their singer is actually their drummer, Julien Ehrlich. We saw the group in May 2016, stating “The second they took the stage, there was something familiar about them. Come to find out that two members of this band (Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich) are actually former members of The Smith Westerns (RIP). These guys had joined forces with members of a few other Chicago groups to form Whitney.” We soon realized that, in fact, the band is actually from the ashes of Smith Westerns… who we saw in August 2013.”
Support for the show is Nashville-based artist Oscar Lindsey, who recently signed to Mom + Pop Music (Courtney Barnett, Caamp, Tiny Habits, Hudson Freeman) and will release his label debut, Sunshine, on October 16.
