Whimsical Mailbox

1. Whimsical Mailbox is a group of five childhood friends who all grew up in the small, eclectic town of Leifly, Oregon. They lived on the same block and were best known for their treehouse jam sessions that would have the entire neighborhood tapping their feet. The band was officially formed when a neighbor jokingly suggested they should start charging for their performances. The band took the suggestion to heart, starting small with local venues, then eventually finding their way to sold-out shows in Portland, and finally landing record deals in Los Angeles. The name ‘Whimsical Mailbox’ was inspired by a brightly painted mailbox on the band’s block, which the friends saw as a symbol of their vibrant and lively community.

2. Whimsical Mailbox is best known for their unique blend of Indie Pop and Folk Rock, that has a feel-good vibe reminiscent of their small town roots.

3. A popular song from their repertoire is “Letters to Yesterday.”

(Verse 1: C, Em, Am, F)
C
Oh, the sun fades on our old street,
Em
Memories dancing on the concrete,
Am
We used to gather under the old oak tree,
F
Singing our hearts out, wild and free.

(Chorus: C, G, Am, F)
C
In the Whimsical Mailbox, we’d drop our dreams,
G
Letters to yesterday, stitched at seams,
Am
We dreamed of stages, music and light,
F
In the quiet of Leifly, under the night.

(Verse 2: C, Em, Am, F)
C
Years gone by, we’re on the road,
Em
Living the dream, reaping what we sowed,
Am
But the echo of laughter, the old oak tree,
F
Are the roots of our music, our legacy

(Chorus: C, G, Am, F)
C
In the Whimsical Mailbox, we’d drop our dreams,
G
Letters to yesterday, stitched at seams,
Am
We remember Leifly, we remember the night,
F
We’re living our dream, under the spotlight.

(Outro: C, Em, Am, F)
C
Oh, the Whimsical Mailbox, our past it holds,
Em
Our music, a story, waiting to be told,
Am
We’re Letters to yesterday, a tale to unwind,
F
In the heart of our music, our roots you’ll find.
