DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW... VISIT WWW.WHYTEZEBRA.COM.AU
The vividly unique sound created in the genre of acoustic folk rock has become Whyte Zebra’s distinct calling card. Based in the Central Queensland region, the trio is made up of Andy Stanhope on vocals and lead guitar, Tom Whyte on percussion, and Steve Quinn on bass.

After many years of performing live, this band already has a large and loyal fan base. 2008 is the year that will see them record their debut album, and their frenetic pace will see them as a constant on the music scene. They are already heavily booked to perform live, will feature as the headlining act in a monthly music event, and are committed to various music festivals, offering them numerous opportunities to promote their upcoming album.

Each member of Whyte Zebra brings their own musical influences to the band; from roots to country through to heavy rock. It is these very differences that has seen the development of a unique bond, respect and passion for all kinds of music.

Andy Stanhope started his music career as a solo artist performing at local pubs, corporate functions and parties. Through this network of musicians he met an 18 year old percussionist, Tom Whyte. Tom’s ability and passion for percussion saw the two combine their skills to strengthen Andy’s already developed unique style. It wasn’t until an interview with the local paper that it occurred to the young duo that they would need a name. With a deadline looming, they derived the name from Andy’s nickname ‘Zebra’ and Tom’s surname to form ‘Whyte Zebra’. Shortly after they met bass extraordinaire Steve Quinn. It was not long before Whyte Zebra was booked out every weekend.

Whyte Zebra strive to approach every occasion with the same professional attitude, whether performing gigs at pubs/clubs, weddings, corporate dinners, parties, festivals, original nights, or support gigs. With this attitude, Whyte Zebra operates as a business venture as well as a band.
