Description

Live and Local series features William Elliott Whitmore on October 6

William Elliott Whitmore will wrap up this year’s Live and Local shows at Grimes Farm Amphitheater in Marshalltown at 5:30 p.m. on October 6. It is a free show.

Whitmore is a singer-songwriter/banjoist/guitarist/drum-stompin’ solo act from Lee County, Iowa. He has released six full-length albums that seamlessly meld country, blues, folk, and punk styles. His songs are haunting, rustic, powerful, and real – byproducts of living his entire life on the family farm, being involved in the hardcore-punk scene in the local community, and touring hard across the country.

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, where he still lives today
