DAYBREAK Magazine

At the core of a historic and growing Chicago music scene, has played a vital role in the growth of both the Chicago and Midwest indie scenes. “Small Talk” embodies both this growth and a heavy Chicago footprint across all 11 tracks.

Whitney is featured in DAYBREAK Mag V.8, which is shipping now.
