The Whalers feature Rodger Harrison on guitar, Kathleen Jackson driving the rhythm on ‘Fred’, a 1934 Kay upright bass, Randy Christian adding a splash of harmonica, and percussion, plus dynamic vocals by all three.

Their sound revolves around the tales their songs tell, occasionally borrowing from other genres, yet never venturing too far from their Celtic roots, ‘AmeriCelticana’ and then some! All veterans of the North Texas Celtic music scene, they show a particular fondness for the humorous and upbeat that draws them to pub songs both old and new. Rockin' and rowdy at the local pub or coaxing a concert audience to its feet, The Whalers are an adventure you don't want to miss. An eclectic mix of influences has carved a groove the band slips into snugly, and whether it's Celtic music with a Texas twist or Texas music with a Celtic twist, you'll find toes tapping and hands clapping.
