The Whitlows are Edmonton’s most lovable acoustic duo. Married to music, and to each other, Joe & Ariana perform your favourite sing-along tunes and share hilarious stories about their hectic life as parents to 3 spirited young children. Their popular “Campfire Concert” street series brings their acoustic show to local neighbourhoods, where they perform safe, lively street concerts by firelight. Catch them this summer performing live from your street with The Whitlow’s “Singing Lemonade Stand”!
The Whitlows really charmed our residents at our event this past week. We have a range of different music fans and these guys impressed everyone, from classic rock to 90's pop to music from today! It was fantastic, thanks to Ariana and Joe for an outstanding performance!
They were excellent! They arrived in time for set up, they met all my requests, they were funny and the music was awesome. Everyone loved them and were asking how to book them. It couldn’t have been more perfect!
Response from The Whitlows:
Anita, thank you so much for your kind review! We had a wonderful time meeting your friends and really appreciated the opportunity to celebrate your birthday and housewarming together. All the best to you in your new home! :) - Ariana and Joe
Funny, personable, and extremely talented!!! If you are looking for a memorable and engaging experience, then I highly recommend “The Whitlows”.
Response from The Whitlows:
Thanks so much for inviting us to play for your guests, Amber! Enjoy 2022 and hope to see you all again :) - The Whitlows
I booked The Whitlows for my daughter's virtual baby shower. Ariana helped us decide on a set list, which included a very special song request. Joseph popped in ahead of time to test things out, and they were ready to roll at show time. I'm not sure I need to speak to their musical talent here - if you have seen them perform or have watched the videos it's pretty clear they sing and play together beautifully and you will not be disappointed! If that were all they brought it would be more than enough, but their warmth, humour, and professionalism elevated our little event to "I'm blown away!" status. Yes, that was an actual review. :) Thank you so much, Ariana and Joe! We couldn't be happier.
The Whitlows are so talented and professional. They put on a wonderful and relaxed evening of music and sang a perfect range of songs from country to Frozen. Very impressive.
Response from The Whitlows:
So glad you enjoyed the performance! Means so much to us that you took the time to review. Have a great week!
We had The Whitlows out for our neighbour hood party and what an amazing time was had by everyone. Joe and Ariana are funny and engaging. The range of music from was spot on and they are both so talented! Would definitely Reccomended them for any event!

The Whitlows are Edmonton’s most lovable acoustic duo. Married to music, and to each other, Joe and Ariana perform your favourite tunes and share hilarious stories about their hectic life with 3 spirited young children.
Both graduates of Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Joe and Ariana's passion for music has taken them all over the world, performing in touring musicals, on cruise ships, and for Sir Paul himself! Most recently, Ariana has been featured as a soloist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and in the Edmonton Singing Christmas Tree.
The Whitlows upped their game at the start of 2020. when their pandemic-inspired living room livestreams, #FriyayWithTheWhitlows, quickly became a favourite source of lockdown entertainment featuring interactive games, amusing themes and comical costumes (like that time Joe painted himself blue to be Aladdin’s genie!). Their popular “Campfire Concert” series brought the show to local neighbourhoods, where they performed safe, lively street concerts by firelight. Catch them this summer performing live from your street with The Whitlow’s “Singing Lemonade Stand”.
