Description

Dan Whitaker and his band play MOTR Pub with Honey & Houston. Music begins at 10 Dan Whitaker is a honky-tonkin’ folk-blues and hillbilly jazz artist whose music defies easy assumptions. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter moves from dark ballads to intricate instrumentals to character-driven stories set on the road and in honky-tonks. Since the mid-‘80s he has created independent original music in Chicago and the Midwest in bands such as Dan Whitaker and The Shinebenders, The Gyps, Great Plains Gypsies, and June Bug Massacre. On U.S. tours and at home Whitaker has shared the stage with artists like James Hand, Shooter Jennings, Corb Lund, The Bottle Rockets, and more. Hailing from Northern Kentucky, Lauren Houston and Heather Turner are the fuel behind the fire of Honey & Houston. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Mark Cretcher and drummer Daniel Peterson the band has quickly become a fixture on the Cincinnati scene, playing high-profile festivals like Buckle Up and the Whispering Beard as well as opening for national acts including Tim O'Brien, Eilen Jewell, David Bromberg and Scott Miller / Rayna Gellert. In 2014 they were nominated for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award. The group blends diverse influences with sweet melodies and goose bump-inducing harmonies Dan Whitaker appears at MOTR Pub, Thurs. December 12th.
