As the bass player for Brisbane rock band ‘The Butterfly Effect’, Glenn has spent the last 12 years touring Australia and the world. When it comes to music, whether it be singing the songs of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, performing mashups and medleys of ‘Daft Punk’ and ‘Mumford and Sons’ to packed dance floors or just holding court whilst the whole room sings a classic by ‘Cold Chisel’, Glenn enjoys it all.

An outstanding singer and guitarist, Dan is renowned for his ability to switch from one style to another at the drop of a G chord with plenty of laughs and surprises along the way. For more than a decade Dan has been one of the most popular entertainers in Sydney’s Rocks Area.

The pair can now regularly be found entertaining a whole host of different venues and crowds across Sydney with their unique blend of songs both past and present. From 50’s and 60’s classics to modern day hits, their repertoire seems endless. Regularly put to the test by audience requests, Whelan and Gover never miss a beat!
With two acoustic guitars, two voices and percussion, no duo creates a bigger sound. Whelan and Gover always ensure a fun night is had by all, especially by the boys themselves!
