Forget The Whale

Not every band can pull off bold, brassy, and danceable all at once, but Forget the Whale makes it sound effortless. This Jersey City septet brings together powerhouse female vocals, a punchy horn section, and hook-driven pop and rock songwriting into a sound that is as hard to categorize as it is impossible to stand still for.

• Seven People, One Unstoppable Sound: With seven musicians on stage, Forget the Whale fills a concert in the best possible way. The horn section adds muscle and swagger to songs that are already built to get stuck in your head.
• Fronted by an incredible Voice: At the center of it all is a lead vocalist with the kind of presence that makes you pay attention from the first note. Big, bold, and completely in command, she is the anchor that ties the whole exhilarating ride together.
• Fresh, Original, and Built for Live Stages: No covers, no formulas. Forget the Whale writes their own songs, and their catchy, sing-along tunes prove that original music and pure crowd-pleasing fun are not mutually exclusive.

Come ready to sing along to songs you’ve never heard before and somehow already know like they’re you’re favorites.
