On his guitar, he's a versatile player from slow blues to meaty riffs and catchy solos. A well-seasoned singer that can hit all the right notes.
As a nephew of Juno award-winning Canadian composer Harry Somers, Whitey found an early love of music, a pool he most happily dove into. Having lived in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and now residing in Shaunavon Saskatchewan, traveling and life have been his teachers. "Music filled my life, and still does.
