Meet Wholesome Boys of North Nashville

Today we’d like to introduce you to Wholesome Boys

Hi Wholesome, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Telling tales from their upbringing in the Rust Belt and on the bayou, and continuing in the tradition of American storytellers like Bruce Springsteen and Brandon Flowers, The Wholesome Boys have crafted a sound for their debut album that feels both contemporary and timeless. Set to propulsive backbeats and echoing guitars, The Wholesome Boys went from waiting tables in Nashville to piloting their van 12,000 miles, playing over 70 shows and supporting artists like Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, and Clint Black. While on the road, Andrew, Dylan, Frank, and Nate began to write as a unit. Finding that their new collaborative material and sound was resonating with audiences across the country, the Boys were determined to capture on record the shared urgency and energy from their live show. Teaming up with producer Ben Rice (Joan Osborne, The National) the Boys spent the wintery month of January hunkered down in Brooklyn at Degraw Sound to unpack the material they had written on the road and distill their collective vision. The resulting debut album, Adelphi (named in reference to both the street where they stayed in Brooklyn and their sense of brotherhood) is infused with gritty authenticity and packed with anthemic songs of hope and possibility. With their finished album in hand, The Wholesome Boys are readying plans for a 2024 release and tour.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Everyone has struggles along the way, most of them unique. We never expect anything to go perfectly. Knowing that we can face challenges together as a unit makes all the difference to us.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We’re very proud of our songs and the live performance is atomic. Come catch a live show to see for yourself.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Go for it. If you’re willing to accept the outcome then what’s the big idea? Everything involves some sort of possible let down or failure. You have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
