Old Smoke Band Finds Purpose, New Dynamic During Pandemic

Travis Wheet, Chris Lackey, Jess Wheet, Heath Brandon, and Adam Humphreys of Old Smoke taking a break from recording at Eclipse Studios in Normal.
Like many bands, the Bloomington-based quintet Old Smoke used downtime during the pandemic to write and record a new album.
The EP “Onward” is musically similar to Old Smoke’s 2018 rockin’-blues LP “In My Own Time.” But this time around, background singer Jessica Wheet moved to lead vocals.
Guitarist and former lead singer Adam Humphreys said Wheet up-front changed the dynamic of the band for two reasons.
“She has a huge range, so that changes the kinds of songs that we can do,” said Humphreys via Zoom.
