William Elliott Whitmore

William Elliott Whitmore is a visceral and soul-stirring American singer-songwriter whose music reverberates with deep roots in folk, country, and blues traditions. Hailing from the banks of the Mississippi River in Lee County, Iowa, Whitmore's sound is as rich and fertile as the soil his family has farmed for generations. With his gravelly voice and a stark, authentic delivery, he weaves stories of work, pain, and redemption into his songs, capturing the essence of heartland America.

Whitomore's catalog showcases a prolific career, marked by a profound connection to the land and the human condition. His album "Kilonova" released in 2018, reveals his ability to interpret songs from a diverse range of artists, imprinting them with his distinctive style. Prior releases such as "Radium Death" (2015) and "Field Songs" (2011) further delve into the trials and tribulations of rural life, with Whitmore's acoustic guitar or banjo providing a stark backdrop for his introspective lyrics. Constantly evolving yet maintaining a timeless quality, William Elliott Whitmore's work is a chronicle of Americana, echoing with the kind of stories that are often whispered but rarely forgotten.
