Within the Minneapolis music scene, heartfelt whisper has become locally known for their passionate live performance and their emotional interaction with the audience. The band developed in early 2002 out of a shared love for conceiving, composing and performing creative music and has since gone through a few line-up changes. Now, with a unified focus, heartfelt whisper is excited to see where the music will take them next.
Lead singer Ryan Garvin draws the listener into the music with his strong and sometimes plaintive vocals. Beautiful melody lines and honest, thought-provoking lyrics find the listener hanging on to every enunciated word and unintelligible scream, sympathizing with the sentiments involved. Guitarist Brian Lake (Denver, In Pictures) and bassist Josh (Eastern Standard) drive the music, setting the mood with fluid chord progressions and enticing key changes. Along with Brian’s signature picking style and Josh’s minimalistic, yet aesthetic arrangements, Brian Levang holds it all together with his rhythmic inventiveness. Forming a cohesive unit, heartfelt whisper anticipates making a significant push forward into the national music scene.
heartfelt whisper blends minimalist, driving rock with identifiable melodies and complimentary harmonies. Combining today’s sounds of creative, rhythm-driving percussion and parallel rhythmic guitar work with emo-esque flavour and earnest, capturing vocals; heartfelt whisper strives to create a relevant and unique sound. With a desire to use a broad vocabulary of sound and a sweeping landscape of language, the band continues to expand their own scope of thought and music. In unity with the desire to make intelligent,
captivating music, heartfelt whisper endeavors to make known the truth to an expectant audience.
