Born in Wexford Ireland in 1978, Michael Whelan developed a keen interest in music from a very young age, and not your standard music, the first album he bought was Motley Crues "Shout at the Devil", when he was 9.
From there he found his way to the likes of Guns N'Roses, and on to the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, & other primarily American bands like 7Mary3, Screaming Trees, Blind Melon & Satchel until then progressing further to the classic albums of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash & Townes Van Zandt to develop whats now an extremely broad and well rounded range of musical influences.
Michael first picked up a guitar at the age of 13 and over the next few years thought himself to play, until he was eventually good (or bad) enough to begin jamming with friends in the customary teen garage bands.
Writing songs right the way through his teens and eventually recording and performing them as guitar player with long time friend Gordon Barry as half of Buffalo Whitewater. Following their decision to each pursue their own solo interests Michael lazily gigged solo during his early 20's until hangning up his guitar sometime around 2004.
After almost a 3 year break from performing he was convinced by friends in early 2007 to get back to it which has led a string of new songs and a very busy and well recieved gigging schedule since.
The songs loaded on this site are self produced demos of some of Michaels new tracks.
All comments are welcome and appreciated.
