Event Summary

Leonard Grimes Memorial Amphitheater at Grimes Farm

A man armed only with a banjo and a bass drum can be a formidable force, especially if his name is William Elliott Whitmore. With his powerful voice and honest approach, Whitmore comes from the land, growing up on a family farm in Lee County, Iowa. Whitmore has consistently carved his own path, honoring the longstanding tradition of folk music throughout his nearly 20-year career while always allowing his blues, soul, and punk rock influences to shine through. William Elliott Whitmore has been back and forth across the United States and to cities around the world. He's toured with such diverse acts as Frank Turner, Trampled by Turtles, Clutch, and Chris Cornell, to name a few. He's appeared on some of the biggest stages around the world, including Stagecoach Fest, Byron Bluesfest (Australia), and End of the Road Fest (UK). Local food trucks will be in attendance. However, participants can bring their own snacks and beverages. This event is FREE and open to the public, thanks to our sponsors--the Ann C. Keyser Trust and supportive members of the Friends of Marshall County Conservation.
