William Elliott Whitmore with The Local Honeys

A man armed only with a banjo and a bass drum can be a formidable force, especially if his name is William Elliott Whitmore. With his powerful voice and honest approach, Whitmore comes from the land, growing up on a family farm in Lee County, Iowa. Still living on the same farm today, Whitmore has indeed taken the time to discover where his center lies; from that, he will not be moved.

Whitmore has repeatedly carved his path, honoring the longstanding tradition of folk music throughout his nearly 20-year career while allowing his blues, soul, and punk rock influences to shine through.
