Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Trixie Whitley was born in 1987 in Ghent, Belgium, the daughter of singer and songwriter Chris Whitley, which got her music pedigree going early. Bouncing between New York and Belgium for a time, she recorded a debut EP, The Engine, which appeared in 2009. That same year she joined Daniel Lanois' Black Dub band, which released an eponymous album in 2010. Whitley began recording a full-length solo project in 2011, but interrupted work on it to tour with Black Dub. An EP featuring Whitley in concert, Live at Rockwood Music Hall, appeared in 2012. Whitley co-produced Fourth Corner, her full-length studio debut released in January 2013; co-producer Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman) and engineer Pat Dillett served as the core of her band. ~ Steve Leggett
