A White Whale band is a band you love but for some reason or another you just haven’t gotten a chance to see them live yet. I asked a few of my fellow colleagues what bands they consider their White Whale acts. Maybe you didn’t know about them until they came through town, or they just don’t come to town very often. Sometimes you have conflicts at festivals preventing you your only chance to see an act for a while. This is the third and final playlist in this White Whale series.
Legacy acts– Bands that have been around for over 15-20 years. You probably haven’t seen them because they either don’t tour all that often, or their tickets are so expensive that you can’t afford to go.
