Whoa Sequoia is the solo project of Philadelphia-based Guitarist, Producer and Songwriter Brandon Meyer.

In 2019, while living in Southern California, Meyer initially started Whoa Sequoia as an experimental home recording endeavor for some new “lead guitar, synth and vocals-focused” material he had been working on.

Almost 50 new songs later, Meyer found his “chill rock” sound - a unique blend of blistering guitar solos, punchy synth lines, and soft, layered vocals - which at points harkens to bands like The Flaming Lips, Dire Straits, My Morning Jacket, Ween, the Grateful Dead and more.

Meyer has since released 3 albums under the Whoa Sequoia banner: 2019’s “First Array of Palm,” 2020’s quarantine-recorded, space-age concept album “The Geyser Saga”, and 2022’s well-received full-length “David Letterman.” He plays all of the instruments on the recordings.

A self-taught guitarist, Meyer cites some of his many influences: Jimi Hendrix, Al Di Meola, Mark Knopfler, Jerry Garcia, Carlos Santana, Trey Anastasio, Vernon Reid, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wayne Krantz and “hundreds of others.”

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 some of the country’s finest live and studio musicians. Each performance and lineup leads to a new perspective on the songs, leading to some truly memorable improvisational moments.

Whoa Sequoia’s newest album “Monoplane” will be released on Friday, March 15th, 2024.
