Nashville-based acoustic duo Whitherward is a celebration of the odyssey that is music and the performance of music. Moreover, the dynamic that comes from collaboration is a central part of the duo, resulting in unique arrangements of both original and popular music.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" -Jk

Japhys Descent is an idea that we are here to burn as bright as possible, be a beacon to others and not be afraid to pour every ounce of energy into something you love. Our music is an extension of our desire to live every moment with that same spark and produce music to burn brightly to. We invite you to descend with us, love with us, listen with us and dive head first into the mystery. Enjoy the music and we will see you around...
