Whoa Sequoia is the “chill rock” and alt-pop solo vehicle of Philadelphia-based Guitarist, Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist Brandon Meyer.

In 2019, while living in Southern California, Meyer initially started Whoa Sequoia as an experimental home recording endeavor for some new material he had been working on.

Almost 50 new song demos later, Meyer found his sound. Combining tasteful guitar work, airy synths, Paul McCartney-esque bass and layered, introspective vocals, Meyer crafts a sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. He plays all of the instruments on the recordings.

His music draws inspiration from a wide range of influences - from classic rock acts like Dire Straits, Tom Petty and the Grateful Dead, to classical music, Broadway and motown - while carving out a distinct identity all his own.

Meyer has since released 4 albums under the Whoa Sequoia banner: 2019’s “First Array of Palm,” 2020’s quarantine-recorded, space-saga concept album “The Geyser Saga”, 2022’s well-received full-length “David Letterman,” and 2024’s most recent “Monoplane.”

Whoa Sequoia has also landed several notable TV/Film placements - on VICE, TruTV, a late night spot on Japanese TV, and the 2023 Peacock time-travel dramedy “Meet Cute”.

The Whoa Sequoia live band features a rotating cast of uber-talented live and studio musicians. Each unique lineup leads to a new perspective to the song dynamics, while also leading to memorable improvisational moments.

Whoa Sequoia’s newest album “Pool of Love” will be released on Friday, April 18th, 2024 on Java Street Records.
