Kirk Whalen

Once a reluctant guitar picker, now a singing southern troubadour. Kirk weaves uptempo finger picking with baritone vocals into a quilt he calls “grandpa music”. One day in 2020 an old discarded guitar landed in his lap and the pull was just too strong. He grabbed his Grandpa’s thumb-pick and finally became the singing southern troubadour he was always meant to be, connecting with his roots and his audiences wherever the songs take him.
