Whitehorse is a roots noir duo with an innovative approach and intense chemistry. Together, Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland defy the math of one plus one with a big sound based on layers of live looping. On The Northern South Vol. 1, Whitehorse showcases modern translations of the grooves and melodies of 1950s and 1960s blues selections in homage to the astonishing catalogues of Chess and Checker Records. The Northern South Vol. 1 looks to the time after the Great Migration brought so many soon-to-be music legends north to Chicago to plug in.
