Fans wait for Whitney at the 2018 Bellwether Festival in Waynesville, OH on Friday, August 10. The rain came down heavy for a few moment before the set, but cleared out by the time the band finished “Dave’s Song” and “No Matter Where We Go” from their debut LP, “Light Upon a Lake” (Secretly Canadian).
