Whitney Mann’s newest EP Electric Heart will be released in August 2026. It includes five tracks produced by veteran Milwaukee musician Hayward Williams. The collaboration took Whitney’s singer-songwriter style to a new place, giving these songs more depth, soul, and–ultimately–the sound they deserve.
“Mann’s melodies, a combination of country grit and folky singer/songwriter assuredness, roped you in from the moment they wafted across the bar and into your ears.” – Mark Griffin, The Cap Times
Whitney Mann is a seasoned singer-songwriter whose key goal is to make people feel during her shows; to peer into the depth of their human experience and examine the view. But she also wants people to laugh, to howl at the absurdity of life. And, with her trusted Larrivée acoustic guitar strapped to her chest, she threads that needle with ease.
Whitney was born and raised in the Midwest and, as a girl, she dreamed of creating art like “those people” she heard on her parents’ records; Dusty Springfield, Ray Charles, Neil Diamond. “I daydreamed all day, every day, of singing songs that I wrote in front of thousands of people,” she says. At the age of four, she began writing her own songs and two decades later she was opening shows for Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Loretta Lynn.
“I love the craft of songwriting, of making something beautiful out of nothing.” Whitney says. “Music is an art form that brings people together. It creates connections that go beyond age and status. It binds us all together and I’m grateful to be able to contribute in my own way.”
