CLICK THE ITUNES LOGO FOR THE WHIPKEY THREE- NOW AVAILABLE AT ITUNES"I'm an enormous fan of perfectly balanced trios. It doesn't get more balanced than this. If you like alt-Americana rock, you'll be hardpressed to find a better band." -Tim McMahan of lazy-i.com
Combining forces of two of Omaha's most recognized bands, Matt Whipkey and Anonymous American and Sarah Benck and The Robbers, The Whipkey Three is a juggernaut. In the summer of 2007, songwriter Matt Whipkey was needing a new outlet for the numerous compositions he was creating. Then there was three.
Between Whipkey, Benck and Scott “Zip†Zimmerman , their accomplishments and accolades are nothing less than numerous. With four Omaha Entertainment Awards (Best Rock, Americana, Singer-Songwriter, Adult Contemporary), a pair of national ad campaigns (United Way, YWCA), and countless headling and opening gigs, this band is no novice. However, the resume and support slots (Bright Eyes, Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler, Dave Alvin, Alejandro Escovedo, Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers) would amount to nothing if this trios music wasn’t half as strong. Balancing melody, aggression, subtlety and power, Whipkey’s songs set a new standard for a city with an already impressive catalog.
