William Elliott Whitmore with D. Anson Brody
Friday, Oct. 31 | 8:00pm ET (7:00pm CT)
William Elliott Whitmore is an American blues, country, folk singer and musician. His roots-folk music is often inspired by his life on his family farm in the hills of southeastern Iowa.
About the Artists:
Born and raised on a small farm in Lee County Iowa, a love of the land has always been an important part of William Elliott Whitmore’s life. An appreciation for nature and its cycles being taught from an early age. That awareness of birth and death is a constant theme in the songwriting, through a lens of hopefulness and acceptance. These things unify us as people, a theme that is often explored in the music. With a banjo, guitar and kick drum, Whitmore seeks to convey these ideas. For over twenty years he has traveled the world, performing everywhere from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia. He’s played basements, backyards, festival stages, and Carnegie Hall, and has no plans to stop anytime soon. “Life is hard, nasty, and unforgiving at times,” Whitmore says, “but it’s beautiful too, and music can be a reminder of what we all have in common, a desire to keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
The Chicago based singer-songwriter-virtuosic-guitarist D. Anson Brody has emerged from a painfully complex path involving a near-death experience, loss, and career burnout to triumphantly return, creatively reborn, and spiritually reinvigorated. His aesthetic encompasses a splash of dazzling acoustic guitar manipulations, the intrepid folk explorations of the freak folk scene, and the bold vulnerability and reflectiveness of the singer-songwriter milieu. The organizing factor in his work is serving-the-song artistic sensitivity and capturing emotional authenticity.
