Wendlo
Wendlo is the singer/songwriter-pop duo of Jacob and Chelsea Hamilton, best known for their stripped-down arrangements, tight harmonies, reimagined covers, and distinctive guitar tones that have earned them a devoted following. The two met in Alaska, where Chelsea is from, and later moved to Atlanta—Jacob’s hometown—where they asked each other, “Wanna be a band?”Embracing a DIY approach to every aspect of their project—from recording and promotion, to experimenting with and modifying their instruments—Wendlo brings a hands-on, craft-obsessed energy to everything they create. Their growing online presence has led to a featured performance on PBS’ New Year’s Eve Special, a slot at Jerry Moss’ tribute concert at A&M Records, and collaborations with other high-profile creators like Josh Harmon, Jack Conte, stories, Ryan Lerman, Emily Bear, the American Pops Orchestra, and dozens more. Their concise musicality has garnered the attention of Jack Black, John Paul White, and probably every color of last name in between.
Wendlo’s music lives in the balance between playfulness and poignancy, well-versed in the duality of having fun in an often cold and ruthless world. The range of their songwriting is on full display in songs like “Wasting Time With You”—an existential love song; “Spenard” and “Except I Love You”—both expressions of the relentless nature of grief; and “Must Be Nice!”—a sarcastic call-out aimed at the people on top who don’t seem to care about anyone else. The duo are gearing up to release their debut album this year.
