William Elliott Whitmore

William Elliott Whitmore's music is simple in structure, with basic chords and cadence. But the messages in his new album, Field Songs (released July 12), run much deeper. Pensive lyrics explore the relationships between human life and nature, and the universal connection between all living things.

But don't mistake his songs for clichés. Whitmore's sentiments are delivered with such candor and conviction that listeners might feel they're experiencing the emotions firsthand.
