Whooley Spirits
Born in the heart of Colorado’s North Fork Valley, Whooley Spirits is a nine-member powerhouse delivering a rich blend of funk, soul, and rock & roll. With blazing horns, driving drums, soulful vocals, harmonica, keyboards, guitar, and deep bass grooves, the band keeps crowds moving long after the sun disappears behind the West Elks. Equal parts groove and musical mischief, Whooley Spirits brings high-energy performances packed with infectious rhythms, soaring melodies, and electrifying stage presence.
Leading the charge is director John Whooley on saxophone, keyboards and vocals, bringing swagger, soul, and undeniable charisma to every performance. Nicolas Hugon ignites the stage on trumpet, while Tony Peters lays down low-end magic on bass and trombone. Michael Yaussi fuels the groove on guitar, while David Alderice keeps the heartbeat pounding on drums, locking in rhythms that are impossible to resist. Vocalists Jordan Evans and Teya Cranson deliver powerhouse harmonies and magnetic performances that pull audiences straight onto the dance floor.
From deep funk grooves to soulful classics and rock & roll favorites, Whooley Spirits turns every show into a celebration. They’re more than a band—they’re a North Fork Valley experience.
