Whethan at Soundcheck

Go check out 22 year old Chicago native Whethan this week at Soundcheck! This young DJ master started out as many do – playing around on Garage Band on his iPad, working on and recording music in his bedroom in high school. He released a remix of the track “XE3” by Mssingno, which drew the attention of the music industry around the world right to him, and began changing his narrative. When he was 16 years old, he was recognized as the youngest ever producer to release a record on Australian EDM label, Future Classic. Most high schoolers go dance with their friends and take nice pictures at their senior homecoming. Whethan previewed a bunch of unreleased tracks. Most high schooler seniors spend the second semester feeling restless and developing senioritis. Whethan went on tour with The Chainsmokers, with a short break to attend graduation. Most high schooler seniors catch the attention of a college. Whethan caught the attention of dubstep pioneer and OWSLA-founder Skrillex. Since then, he has been releasing hit after hit, collaborating with artists such as Oliver Tree, MAX, and Dua Lipa, touring the world, and appearing at music festivals. This tour, “Swimming With the Clouds”, will be one you don’t want to miss.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
