As leading members, Anthony Ferretti and Lena Rush ultimately define the
core of Whisker Music. Originally from Portland Oregon, the two moved to
Chicago to persue the beginnings of what is now Whisker Music. Ferretti
and Rush chose particular sounds for their debut recording, stemming from
their influence by the classics in rock, folk and country. In early December
2008 Whisker Music recorded at The Sound of Music Studios in Richmond,
Virginia. Working with Drummer/Producer Miguel Urbiztondo (of Maki and
various Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven recordings) and with the skill
of Engineer Alan Weatherhead (of Sparkle Horse, Hotel lights and Maki;
Engineer for Daniel Johnston along with various others), Whisker Music’s
debut was created. Whisker Music has embarked on a journey exploring new
horizons in what defines an Americana band. What you will find on this self titled
debut is a century of popular music, reinterpreted by the soul of a new generation,
that is, Whisker Music.
