Amelia writesIt’s CHIRP Night at the Whistler With Pool Holograph and Courtship on Febr. 22!

Local bands Pool Holograph and Courtship are playing CHIRP Night at The Whistler this Wednesday, February 22nd!

Pool Holograph was started as a bedroom project by Wyatt Grant and now includes bassist Zach and brothers Paul and Jake (who are also in local band Varsity). Their 2016 EP Town Quarry features the single "Lone Star" which builds on the band's rock sound with light alt-country vibes. Town Quarry is the first album they worked on as a four-piece, and you can learn more about the making of that EP and their musical inspirations in their recent CHIRP Podcast interview.

Courtship is a psychedelic indie-rock group from Avondale fronted by Tyler Olsen. They'll open the night with laid-back vibes that you can hear in advance on their single "Nothing."

CHIRP Night at the Whistler is every third Wednesday of the month, so be sure to add it to your calendar and come hang with CHIRP-approved bands and DJs!
