Dan Whitaker is a honky-tonkin’ folk-blues and hillbilly jazz artist whose music defies easy assumptions. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter moves from dark ballads to intricate instrumentals to character-driven stories set on the road and in honky-tonks. With his latest album, One More Story Told, Whitaker introduces the deep scope of his songwriting range and evolution to newer listeners for the first time. Best known as leader of the honky-tonk band The Shinebenders, from 1985 to 2015 Whitaker also fronted several roots-rock bands in and around Chicago and the Midwest. One More Story Told is an acoustic anthology of updated songs spanning that time period, brimming with unexpected melodies, unique chord structures, and relatable stories.
