Stephen Whynott has been played on NTS shows including Soup To Nuts w/ Shy One, with What Have You Seen first played on 1 November 2015.

Stephen's career in the musical world has been filled with diverse extremes. He's been named one of the unsung heros of 1978 by "Modern Recording Magazine" (along with Bruce Cockburn and Dave Brubeck), and been told how he & his band, "Calico", recorded one of the best unrecognized LP's of the early 1970's: "Calico-Take Me Back". Stephen began his solo career when Gunther Wiel at "Intermedia Sound" in Boston heard Steve playing some of his original songs and offered the use of the recording studio for as long as needed. The result was the LP "From Philly To Tablas". The recording of that album and those songs sent Stephen on a quest to realize where his true calling would be. City life was rapidly loosing its appeal, even though his gigs had introduced him to such notables as Fleetwood Mac, B.B. King, Aerosmith, etc., so he decided to go across the country to Seattle, where he was signed to a record contract with "Music Is Medicine", the sister company of First American Records, which led to the creation, recording, and distribution of his follow-up Grammy nominated LP, "Geography". After leaving Boston for Seattle, Stephen's music gradually developed into beautiful instrumental stories about how much his life had changed from the whirlwind craziness of rock & roll, playing with his band "Calico" as the opening act for Tim Hardin, Al Cooper, The J. Giles Band, The Hampton Grease Band (along with other members of Frank Zappa's band "Mothers Of Invention"), Van Morrison, and many others. His recording career had included sessions with oboist Michael Kaman, members of Moby Grape, Tim Moore, Cleve Pozar, mellotron/pianoist Dan Frye, bassist/recording engineer/producer Zed Mclarnon (worked with "The Paul Winter Concert"), recording engineer/producer Adrian Barber (recorded "Cream"), and Michael Leary (recorded Harry Nillson, Jonathan Edwards, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Loudon Wainwright, The Steve Miller Band, and Jefferson Airplane), but now he was truly a solo act; living in a new land with new faces and new ideas. Nature became his companion of choice, and his music began to reflect the depth of that decision. Recent fan mail comments have been about how much Stephen's music has evolved and matured, along with his fan base. Stories are told about how his 1st instrumental CD, "Apology To The Animals", is played at weddings & receptions, listened to during car rides to relax babies, and played quietly in hospital rooms to sooth the sick. His 2nd instrumental CD, "Lost Land", is the continuation of Stephen's quest to help stabilize the emotional and spiritual health of our ever growing human need to try to conquer & control all that surrounds us, from the dirt under our feet to the clouds we see in the sky. "Lost Land" has been anticipated by many of Steve's new and old fans alike to be his ultimate comment musically on why we need to listen more carefully to what nature is screaming at us. His music echoes hopeful optimism with an underlying sense of uncertainty about the future, and his melodies gently whisper, "It's not too late, just listen…"
