THE STORY BEHIND THE BUG
Our yellow '73 VW bug seen in our music videos Trav's wife, Janet, bought off of a professional clown. It literally had a giant nose attached to it when we first got it….I guess now we’re the clowns. #wheelandbrothers #vwbug
Creativity to me is both abundant and elusive. We're all artists whether we realize it or not, yet I find myself sometimes feeling as if I'm an imposter. How did I ever write that song? Will I ever create again? But I'm just an instrument receiving signals and interpreting those ideas into art. The songs do not come from me. I tune into the source. Open ears for the poetry down the open road. I get out of my own way. You can't force awareness. In fact it's better to not try at all. Persistence and acceptance is key. If I put a label on it, I'm now studying it and I'm no longer aware in its pure form. When I experience creative flow I first only experience it without understanding. Freestyle. The understanding comes later. Not only does this practice expand my creativity but it also expands the life I live. Look deeply. Feel deeply. Zoom in and out. Inspiration is all around us. These eyes were meant for you to see. Receive it by letting go. Your life is your expression born out of a creative universe. One continuous singular work of art. #wheelandbrothers #creativity #creative #artist #workofart #artistway #creativeact #songwriting #songwriter #freestyle

Happy St Patrick's Day & Happy Birthday to Grandpa Wheeland (on the right in the first photo). These pictures are at Kaneohe, HI waiting to ship out to war in the Pacific (enhanced & colorized). He said there was good body surfing.
THE STORY BEHIND SONG TO THE SUN
Trav wrote the chorus while freestyling & splashing around in the surf with an ukulele at sunset on the island of Koh Lanta in Thailand. The song was almost lost— thought the camera was rolling but it wasn't. Trav had to quickly remember what he had played and record it while the inspiration was still hot! Always hit record! #songtothesun #wheelandbrothers #kohlanta #kohlantaisland #thailand
