Northern minnesotan, growing up on the Mississippi under the pines. Your music helps me feel at home. Everyone I've introduced you to feels it, we are all from the river north to south. You make amazing music. Working mans voice.
I spent an hour trying to find this song i found on the radio. Thank god I did, what a good song. Haha no one can understand how happy i am now that i finally found this song
absolutley incredible...... no-one, i mean, no-one sings like this anymore!!! and if we bottle this voice it'd age better than the whiskey that caused it.....and be worth much more
He played on my birthday in my hometown two years in a row. Drank with him for an hour or so before the first show of his I saw and he was incredible. Just a great guy all around.
I went to a show in SF over a year ago with some friends. I had no idea who he was. So glad i went to that show. He is an amazing artist I only regret not buying him a shot of jameson and trying to talk to him after the show. I hope I get another opportunity!
I first heard one of his songs on pandora. And absolutely loved it. I could have sworn he was an old black gentleman. Boy was I surprised when I looked him up on CZcams :)
I saw WEW in Tempe, AZ for the first time on tour with Clutch. .Absolutely amazing performance. .I flew to Chicago last Nov. to see him before he left for the European tour. . . sadly the Chicago show was canceled due to illness and I never again got that opportunity. I am hoping he will return to AZ some time soon. .I know he is in CO in Nov. .please consider the stop in AZ. . we'll be waiting come "heat", hell or high water. ~one love
@William.E.Whitmore , Bless you and THANK YOU for creating and writing this song , it hits me really deep in the "feels" to say the least !!. Your voice reminds me of an other favourite singer/songwriter , Joe Cocker and I hope you become as famous as him ! ;-) you deserve it . I first head it on an episode of Salt & Tar ( the boatbuilding couple ) in the background and knew I had to hunt it down -- well worth the effort !
I saw him open for City and Colour in Philadelphia and he blew city and colour off the stage. He had great presence, was a great performer, and was hilarious. I laughed just as much as I applauded during his performance. I highly recommend you go see him if you can. And DEFINITELY pick up his albums!
I WOuld Love For him To Come Out To Northern California Honestly You Would Love it Here Fine Wine And Herbs Dont Know What Your Choice Is But Come To Chico And See Some Intresting People Unlike Anywere Else
I think Brian Fallon(Gaslight Anthem) put it best "ladies and gentlemen that man must be thirty but he has a voice like hes 900 years old, i'm gonna bottle it up and open a shop on the board walk selling it"
Indeed, my brother and sister are huge fans of him, even my Mom, actually sat at the bar with him for a bit haha.... my drunken Mom... He also was very kind to my niece, I guess he pointed her out at a show, and my niece of course kinda frooze I guess. But yeah sounds to me like there are indeed people out there who feel the same as you.
Holy shit I didn't know I've been making good music all this time
Good music is an understatement
LOL, this is more than just "good" music! You are flippin great!
I Was Looking Up My Last Name And I Found You!

This man creates art with his soul.
This dude brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to his music.
This guy needs to be headlining. Or at least please come to Red Rocks in Colorado. We would all be very happy
I saw him open the other night for Chris Cornell and was blown away by his music.
This gentleman brings it. Thank you Mr. Whitmore and KEXP for capturing such extraordinary spirit and music! #PureGold

Tune that puppy!
I was, too
true.music.*****
@pgwyn11 Agreed. WEW is amazing - all of his songs are so unbelievably deep.
2:33 I felt like the dude asking the question was sipping tea and checking his status as a hipster.
I pictured Kermit the Frog wearing a rasta cap....
Great music here, I wonder...Is Eleanor Whitmore a family member? She is one half of The Mastersons who also take part in Steve Earle's Dukes.
The action on his guitar looks ridiculously high. Love his music though.
Holy shit, you're right. I just looked and it looks like a slide guitar
Manly hands are capable of handling that...
Indeed, my brother and sister are huge fans of him, even my Mom, actually sat at the bar with him for a bit haha.... my drunken Mom... He also was very kind to my niece, I guess he pointed her out at a show, and my niece of course kinda frooze I guess. But yeah sounds to me like there are indeed people out there who feel the same as you.
@McNoogletheSpamLord Odly, Elliot Whitmore also wears Elliet Whitmore pajamas
Dude must have fingers of steel to play with that string action.
thanks.. i think is a martin d15m
