Dove Award-winning pianist
Stan Whitmire, has a list of accomplishments, both diverse and impressive.
For the past 46 years, Stan has been an integral part of the music ministry of one of the nation’s leading churches, Mount Paran Church in Atlanta.
He brings to each performance a rich musical heritage spanning several generations and covering a variety of musical styles.
Some of his musical credits include serving for five years as keyboardist for the Grammy Award-nominated and Dove Award-winning vocal group, The Nelons, traveling with them throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.
In addition to playing for The Nelons
Stan has worked with award-winning pianist, Dino Kartsonakis, on his Christmas Pianorama production and occasional other showcases, and has also accompanied such artists as Charles Billingsley, Dana Blackwood, The Booth Brothers, Andy Chrisman (4-HIM), The Collingsworth Family, 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, Jerome Olds, Paul Overstreet, George Beverly Shea, Sisters, Mike Speck, and John Starnes.
A featured soloist and accompanist
on many of the Bill and Gloria Gaither Homecoming video projects, Stan has also worked with the Gaithers both in the studio and on occasional concert dates.
He has worked for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as an accompanist and vocalist, ministering at various national crusades and conferences.
Stan was also a part of many In Touch Ministries (Dr. Charles Stanley) events, having played for rallies and conferences across the country, and cruises to Alaska, Greece and the Caribbean.
From 2003 through 2017
Stan had way too much fun being a part of Mark Lowry’s solo-concert dates and video shoots.
Many artists with technical training play mechanically, and many with feeling are limited technically—not Stan, who accomplishes both, accurately covering the entire keyboard, yet still playing with deep emotion.
His passionate presentation of varied stylings will lift your spirits and nourish your soul.
