The Wherewithals

About Me



The Wherewithals originally started as a project between singer/songwriter Ben Firestone and guitarist/vocalist John Paul Longenecker in September of 2005. Originally from South Bend, IN by way of Chicago, Ben moved to Portland in the summer of 04' and met John Paul through work and became friends. When Ben's longtime friend and musical collaborator Chuck Townsend moved to Portland shortly after, it was only a matter of time before Sean McCormick and Stacey Roesberry filled out the lineup, making Ben and John Pauls rough songs into the melodically textured creations they are today.
