    It's been said that Whitney Lockert has "the soul of a poet, the voice of Tom Petty, and the hair of Marcia Brady." It's also been said that his music "demonstrates... mastery of just about every country sub-genre" (Adobe and Teardrops blog). He is also a singer/songwriter who claims in song to hate singer/songwriters, and a musician who loves music. Both familiar and fresh, original and timeless, his songs reflect a wide range of influences, expanding on classic rock, blues, and folk songwriting traditions. While Whitney is not afraid to toy with the conventions of those forms or to have a little fun with timeworn cliches, he does so in a manner that is always refreshing and never feels like simple retread. Like Neil Young with a sense of humor, or Tom Petty collaborating with the Magnetic Fields, Whitney combines virtuosic guitar playing with catchy melodies and incisive lyrics to form a style that is as subtle as it is powerful.
