Dove Award-nominated Stan Whitmire has a list of accomplishments which are as astoundingly diverse as they are impressive.
He brings to each performance a rich musical heritage spanning several generations and covering a variety of musical styles.
For the past 31 years, Stan has played an integral part in the music ministries of one of the nation's leading churches, Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta.
Some of his musical credits include serving for five years as keyboardist for the Grammy Award-nominated and Dove Award-winning group The Nelons, traveling with them throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.
Stan has worked with award-winning pianist, Dino Kartsonakis, on his Christmas Pianorama production and occasional other showcases.
In addition to playing for The Nelons, Stan has also accompanied Dana Blackwood, The Booth Brothers, Andy Chrisman (4-HIM), Geron and Becky Davis, Michael English, Larry Ford, The Gaither Vocal Band, Alicia Williamson Garcia, Greater Vision, Mark Harris (4-HIM), Amy Lambert, LordSong, Mark Lowry, The Martins, Babbie Mason, Cindy Morgan, Jerome Olds, Paul Overstreet, Janet Paschal, George Beverly Shea, Mike Speck, John Starnes, and others.
As a featured soloist and accompanist on many of the Bill and Gloria Gaither Homecoming video projects, Stan often works with the Gaithers both in the studio and on occasional concert dates.
In 1997 he began working for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as an accompanist and vocalist, ministering at various national crusades and conferences.
Stan is also involved with In Touch Ministries ( Dr. Charles Stanley) playing for rallies across the country and cruises to Alaska, Greece and the Caribbean.
His most recent undertaking, since the fall of 2003, is being a part of Mark Lowry's solo-concert dates.
"Many artists with a high degree of technical training often play mechanically...they can play the notes but they can't make music.
Stan does both, accurately covering the entire keyboard, yet still making beautiful music, playing with deep emotion and a wonderful "touch" on the keyboard.
His passionate presentation of varied stylings will lift your spirits and nourish your soul." ~

I was at your church in Atlanta on Nov 1st visiting, and I was blown away with the music. I'm a pianist and vocalist myself, and what an experience that was! I expected to be blasted with sound considering the talent and products that were used, but then i realized that someone knew what they were doing...
It was an awesome service! Thank you for adding me.
We are very excited about playing at such an awesome jazz club. We have some great sets lined up for you, so don't miss it. Friday and Saturday November 20th and 21st, 5:00-8:30p at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago

Hi Stan, this morning I'm listening to "Seasons of Life-Solo Piano Reflections. It makes me run to the piano after listening, especially to track #5, "Home". Your voicing sounds simple, but it's not. It's complicated and I can't imitate it. This is why I love listening to you. Your music is so beautiful. It touches my spirit.
