Trixie Whitley finds her footing as a singular solo artist

The daughter of the late Chris Whitley, a Texas-bred singer/songwriter who lived hard and drank deeply from the blues, Trixie spent her formative years shuttling between the States and her mother’s home in Belgium, where she cut her young artistic teeth deejaying at Antwerp’s Museum of Modern Art and touring with dance troupe Les Ballets C de la B.

It wasn’t until she moved to New York in 2004 that Whitley, who supports "Four Corners" with a show at the Southern in Charlottesville on February 5, began to seriously pursue a career in music. And, even then, she was conflicted about picking up a guitar and styling herself as a singer/songwriter.

"In all honesty, I never wanted to," she admits. "As a kid, I never wanted to play the same thing as my dad. I didn’t want to follow in his footsteps. Guitar was actually the last instrument I picked up — that was only just about four years ago. I just didn’t want to play the same instrument as my dad. But the muse of music inside me was larger than my childhood need to rebel against my parents."
