Whitworth
In the last six months, Whitworth has experienced a 5000% increase in listeners, signed a distribution contract with an international platform, and are preparing to head out on a forty day tour across the nation. We’ve been added to more than 500 playlists across the world and are in rotation at the new 20k capacity City Arena in Saint Louis. The Whitworth project began in Saint Louis in the midst of the covid pandemic when Ragland borrowed his first electric guitar from a friend in anticipation of covid lockdown. The tracks that came out of this period of isolation are odes to community, positivity, and life before. Ragland’s band includes drummer Domonic Mauro, guitarists Ross Spellman & Elijah Melvin, and master of bass Julian Cotom. Whitworth is slated to release their debut EP on July 14th followed by a 10 stop national tour to support.
