In 2023, Wharff met drummer Garrett Howell and bassist Ryan Atchison at an open mic night in downtown Richmond, forming Tobacco Flatts almost instantly. Now, the band has burst onto the scene with snippets of jaw-dropping original songs posted to TikTok and Reels, cementing the newly formed group as one of the most promising acts of 2024.
