Then and Now Episode 3: Will Whalen

At around the age of eight years old, Will Whalen started playing around on his grandma’s upright organ and found that he really enjoyed it. Eventually, his family got him a plastic keyboard, which he would play on for hours. He learned how to play some of his favorite songs by ear, including music from video game soundtracks and contemporary radio-play songs. Whalen moved to Grand Junction in 2009, where he picked up an acoustic guitar for the first time. From there, he started doing open mics and eventually getting longer gigs. He finished getting his bachelor’s degree in writing in college and then continued pursuing a music career.
