Green Lake, Wis. (October 07, 2024) – William Elliott Whitmore will perform a 506 Session at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Saturday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m. 506 Sessions feature cocktail style seating, with only 80 tickets available. 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.” William Elliott Whitmore’s performance is sponsored by Heidel House, Goose Blind, and Sturgeon Spirits. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. Tickets for William Elliott Whitmore’s performance on November 16 at 7:30 p.m. are $35 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com
