The Whales formed as a duo when Anya Celeste and Ethan Hawke met in Mendocino, a coastal town in California. They started playing local open mics and festivals, building a following without much industry support. Their song 'Born of the Sea' eventually became their most recognizable track, though some critics called their music overly sentimental at the time.
Their debut album was called 'Echoes from the Depths,' and they followed it with 'Call of the Siren' and 'Waves of Hope.' The band expanded to include Aaron Reid on bass and Emily Rose on drums. Along with 'Born of the Sea,' they're known for songs like 'Come On Rain' and 'Islands.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
