William Elliott Whitmore plays New World Brewery in Ybor City, Florida on Sept. 26, 2023.
Fourteen years after a legendary set at New World Brewery’s Ybor City location, William Elliott Whitmore has plans to return to Tampa Bay.
The 45-year-old Iowan will release his 11th studio album, Silently, The Mind Breaks, on Jan. 26 and be just outside of downtown Tampa a month later to support it.
Tickets to see William Elliott Whitmore play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Tuesday, Feb. 20 are available now for $20. Noan Partly, a firebrand Bay area songwriter, and truly the most appropriate act to open for Whitmore, is also on the bill.
There are three other Florida shows on Whitmore’s spring run: Orlando, Feb. 21; St. Augustine, Feb. 22; Gainesville, Feb. 23.
In her review of Whitmore’s Best Of The Bay-winning 2012 set in Ybor City, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, songwriter Shae Krispinsky wrote, “Though Whitmore’s songs address themes of revenge, redemption, back-breaking labor and hard living, his performance was lively and full of spirit; he strummed, shook, and knocked over the microphone.” That echoed a familiar sentiment in a recollection of Whitmore’s 2005 Bay area show when he opened for Against Me!
