Let the
Whitfords take you
back ...to a time when everything, including music, was less cluttered and
more genuine. A time when music, like many other things in life, was
largely self-made. The
Whitfords perform
vintage country music, covering a
wide range of American rural styles.
While they play in
Michigan and the Midwest most of the year, each winter The Whitfords
head
for warmer areas. From January through April you can hear them
on their musical tour of Texas, New Mexico, Missouri and
Oklahoma, often with a House Concert stop in Champaign, Illinois.
Reviews --
"While
their covers of well-known recordings show a passionate
reverence for the country/folk traditions, The Whitfords always put
their own mark on their
songs, making them uniquely their own."
David
Vinopal, Author/Music
Historian
"For
the past 5 years, The Whitfords have performed at the Otto-Shenk
House Concert, stopping
on their way back from Big Bend, Texas, where they perform six days a week
at their favorite haunt, the Hallie Stillwell Hall of Fame Museum, just
outside of Big Bend National Park. At the
concert, Eldon played Gibson acoustic guitars and Ann played the upright
bass, one that is bigger than she is. Eldon is a most excellent
guitarist; versatile with a nice dynamic range."
Melissa Merlie,
Arts Writer, The News Gazette in Champaign-Urbana, IL
" Everyone
had a great time at the
2009 Winter Texan Expo, especially when The Whitfords
hit the stage. If you love vintage country music, you will love The
Whitfords!"
Holly
Smith, Winter Texan Expo
