Whiskerman"When they're revved up, Whiskerman sounds like a gospel and soul band that can make you feel like raising your hands in the air in praise of its talent. In their quieter songs, there's a storytelling vibe with intricate melodies."-SF ChronicleChampions (deluxe edition), releases 27 January 20231. Louie2. Jackie & Delilah3. Saturday4. Troublemaker5.

Riot of Indolence (bonus track)Originally released in 2016, "Champions" has become something of a fan favorite and developed an enduring legacy as one of Whiskerman's finest works. Nearly 7 years later we’re back with a special deluxe edition version of the album, just in time to coincide with the original lineup that recorded the album performing together again and record label Royal Oakie celebrating their 10th Anniversary. The deluxe edition features 3 unreleased songs from the original sessions that serve to round out the band’s vision for the album, making an already epic double album into a masterpiece of sprawling ambition and scope.Formed in Oakland, California at the beginning of the new millennium, Whiskerman quickly became a favorite amongst Bay Area audiences with their unique blend of folk-rock coupled with mysterious andprofound lyricism and evocative instrumentation. Most shows would end with singer- songwriter Graham Patzner singing at the top of his lungs and sawing away at his fiddle like some crazed madman preaching a mysterious old time religion. In 2011 theyreleased their self-titled debut "Whiskerman", the culmination of years of songwriting and Woodshedding.Over time the band’s sound became more and more eclectic, taking on a wide range of influences and highlighting the unique talents of each band member. Shows began to feature increasingly widescreen instrumentation: Patzner’s vocal delivery began to drawmore and more from classic soul and gospel singers; drummer Nick Cobbett started playing like Levon Helm; bassist Will Lawrence put some some funk into the low end; and guitarist Charles Lloyd, who joined up after the self-titled debut, added so much to the band with his melodic and soulful guitar playing—some shows even featured Lloydon sitar, an instrument he’s spent years of his life studying in passionate earnest. Their releases began to reflect this eclectic shift—2014’s "Bad News" EP featured soul influenced pop songs with horn lines and funky vibes, while 2015’s "Nomad" featured orchestral pop with delicately layered string sections and darkly cerebral rock n’ roll tunes with electronic flourishes."Champions" is the culmination of all those years, all those records, and all those nights on stage—a masterpiece of wide-ranging scope and ambition, the definitive statement from a band in their prime. Featuring barroom rock n’ roll, blue eyed soul, pastoral folk, workingman’s blues, and rainy day ragas, the album is a tour de force that takes the listener on a hero’s journey of Dostoevsky-ian proportions. The songs deal with life and love and success and failure and what it means to be alive in a world where everything is small.
