William Elliot Whitmore on YouTube
July 14, 2007 | 2 CommentsI’ve written about William Elliot Whitmore when he came to Vancouver. Sadly, I never made it to that show. I did, however, find this video of him doing this in-house/live studio performance on YouTube. Hard to imagine that the guy has opened for hardcore bands all across Europe, but it’s true. And the crowds loved him.
I don’t know what it is about his voice and the banjo, but it works for me.
That’s fantastic, John. I love this guy’s voice. I’d never heard of him before… thanks!

Glad you dig it, Alanah! His voice is captivating, as weird as that sounds. A lot of his songs are pretty dark, mostly about dying, loss, death, and being dead. :p
Still, a remarkable musician. Not many people like him around, we are the same age.
