Elmore Magazine Premieres Behind The Scenes William Elliott Whitmore Documentary
Elmore Magazine is premiering a new behind the scenes video documenting the making of the acclaimed singer-somgwriter William Elliott Whitmore’s dynamic new album Radium Death which arrives March 31st.
Known for the mostly solo recordings he refers to as “roots-folk music,” where his immensely powerful voice is accompanied by little more than a banjo or acoustic guitar, the video captures Whitmore within the confines of Flat Black Studios in Iowa City, built and operated by his cousin and producer, Luke Tweedy, now utilizing a much expanded sound accompanied by a full band.

Energized by this diversifying, and given the space to pair a patient sense of craft with the usual punk rock spirit to which he has always paid homage, the songs on Radium Death hum with an exigent electricity—whether amplified or not. They also present a cohesive look into the recurring Whitmore themes of respect, protection, sustenance and survival.
Whitmore will be celebrating the release of Radium Death with two record release shows in Iowa City (3/28) and Minneapolis (3/29). He will then hit the road for a Northeast & Midwest run in April that includes an appearance at Middle of the Map Fest in Kansas City, MO, followed by a West Coast run in May (all dates listed below).Supporting William on most of these dates will be Denver's own Esme Patterson.
