Meet Michael Whiten

Michael brings a powerhouse of rhythm and harmony to Carolina Line, handling drums, percussion, and vocals with energy and finesse. With over 35 years of stage experience, he’s been in bands since his earliest days — his first group, Rose River, kick-started his lifelong musical journey.

Michael is a true music lover: he embraces all genres, from country and rock to blues, jazz, and everything in between. Whether holding down the beat, adding percussive color, or stepping forward with his voice, he’s committed to making each show feel dynamic, tight, and fun.

Offstage, Michael is always listening, absorbing new sounds, and finding fresh inspiration — and onstage, that passion translates into every groove and harmony he delivers.
