Some years ago, I thought I would do something for my high school reunion that was different. Since I had been involved in music for the majority of my life, I decided to attempt to write some songs about growing up in my small hometown in South Carolina. Whitmire is a town that was built around one cotton mill and has approximately 2,000 people. My high school class had about 40 students and the majority of us had started the first grade togeather. The music you will find on this site is some of the songs I wrote for that occasion, plus a couple others. I hope you find them worth your time to listen.
Why this name?
The band name is the slogan on the city limit sign of Whitmire, Pride of the Piedmont. Whitmire is located about 50 miles south of Greenville and 50 miles North of Columbia near I-26. If you are ever near here....drop in and see us.
Your influences?
I have many influences, but my friend, Mickey Newbury was special to me.
