Welcome to Whyte Zebra on Reverbnation!!
The vividly unique sound created in the genre of acoustic folk rock has become Whyte Zebra's distinct calling card. Based in the Central Queensland region of Australia, this six piece band consists of lead vocalist and lead guitarist Andy Stanhope, percussionist Tom Whyte, bassist Steve Quinn, violinist Rebecca Romeo and backing vocals by Jackie Perryer and Toni Williams.

After many years of performing live, this band already has a large and loyal fan base. Their frenetic pace ensures they have become a constant on the music scene. In 2008 the original trio recorded their debut self titled album. 2009 will see the release of this album, amongst a full calendar of performances and events. The headline act for a monthly music event, they are already committed to numerous music festivals, providing ample opportunity to promote their debut album.

Each member of Whyte Zebra brings their own musical influences to the band; from roots to country through to heavy rock. It is these very differences that have seen the development of a unique bond, respect and passion for all kinds of music. Andy Stanhope started his music career as a solo artist performing at local pubs, corporate functions and parties. Through this network of musicians he met a young percussionist, Tom Whyte. Tom's ability and passion for percussion saw the two combine their skills to strengthen Andy's already developed unique style. It wasn't until an interview with the local newspaper that it occurred to the young duo that they would need a name. With a deadline looming, they derived the name from Andy's nickname "Zebra" and Tom's surname to form "Whyte Zebra". Shortly after they were joined by bass extraordinaire Steve Quinn.

Fast forward to 2009, and then there was six. Whyte Zebra now includes the compositions of violinist Rebecca Romeo, and harmonious backing vocals by duo Jackie Perryer and Toni Williams. Producing a prominent and complete sound, the song compositions are strengthened by strings and backing vocals, creating a deep, transcendent melody.

Whyte Zebra strive to approach every occasion with the same professional attitude, whether performing gigs at pubs/clubs, weddings, corporate dinners, parties, festivals, original nights, or support gigs. With this attitude, Whyte Zebra operates as a business venture as well as a band.
