BRIAN RITTENBERRY - LEAD VOCALS

Brian resides in Jasper, Ga with his wife, Megan, & their 3yr old son, Elijah.  Brians vocal debut was in front of his family at an early age.  As Brian grew up, he began singing at the Christmas Programs for the Local Church in Whitestone in Gilmer County, Ga.

Brians vocal ability has over the years continued to develop and now at age 23, Brian brings to Whitepath a smooth crisp sound with his Primary lead and harmony vocals.  Blurring the lines with his vocals, Brian has been a member of Whitepath since early 2007.  It has been said that once you hear this young man, you will never forget him.

Proud Member of IBMA

DARREN GHORLEY - GUITAR

As an original member of Whitepath,  Darren was born on Sept. 8th 1969 and raised in Canton, Ga and practically lived at Everett's Barn in Suwanne, Ga.  Darren began playing music when he was 8.  His first memory of wanting to be a musician was playing along with Elvis on the couch with linkn logs!  In addition to being around "the barn" all of his life, his father, Donald Ghorley, played and picked all over Cherokee and surrounding counties.

Darren's musical style was influenced by Jimmy Haley, Ricky Scaggs, Doyle Lawson, James Taylor, Journey, and Def Leopard.  This unique blend makes for an awesome rhythm is each and every show.

Darren resides in Ballground, Ga with his wife, Terri and 2 children, Gracie & Will.  Darren's motto is "Jack its Ass!!"

DEAN GHORLEY - MANDOLIN

As an original member, Dean's earliest memory of playing was listening to his father, Donald Ghorley, uncles, and family at get-togethers. 

Dean was born left handed and became interested in the mandolin.  Dean eventually just picked it up, flipped it over and started playing it.  This is unique becuase in fact, the string pattern was never changed.  Dean just plays left handed on a right handed mandolin!

Deans' musical influences are the Fairfield Four, Sam Cooke, Sam Bush and John Cowan.  Dean currently runs the family business with brother [Darren].  His main goal is to "KEEP IT ON THE FRONT EDGE OF THE BEAT!"

KYLE STANDRIDGE - BASS

As one of the original members, Kyle resides in Canton, Ga.  Kyle found an interest in Music at age 15 as he frequently visited Everett's Music Barn in Suwannee, Ga.  As he hung around "the barn," he learned to play the bass. 

Kyles duties span far beyond being the "bass picker" of the band.  Kyle drives the bus and handles the majority of the Public Relations for Whitepath.

Kyles hobbies include golf, hunting, family, and travel.  He is employed as a Land Surveyor.

JEFF PARTIN - DOBRO

One of the newest additions to Whitepath include Jeff Partin on the Dobro.  Jeff began to play the dobro at age ten.  Jeffs family, The Partin Family, has sang Bluegrass Gospel for many years, so its only natural that by the age of 12, He was asked to take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry.  Jeff, now fourteen, holds the title of "Georgia State Dobro Champion" and has for two consecutive years.  Jeff also plays a number of other instruments from the mandolin & guitar, to the bass & banjo.

JERRY "POPSICLE" MITCHELL - DRUMS

As the newest Member of Whitepath since January 08', Jerry has been playing the drums since he was 13 years old.  Jerry began playing the drums with his Uncle and cousins in a Southern Gospel Group.  Jerry brings a sense of humor to Whitepath (as he tunes his drums to the key of B!) and definately keeps the rhythm popping.  With just a snare, Hi-hat and Bass drum, Jerry incorporates a backbone beat into each show.  Whitepath feels that Jerry's role in the band is "The Human Metronome".  Jerry's Motto is "Just Keep It Jackin....!"

Jerry was raised in Suwanee, Ga but now resides in Braselton, Ga with his 10 year old son, Jesse.  He enjoys playing the drums,  Deer & Turkey Hunting and Fishing. 

Jerry also plays with Jeff Partin & The Partin Family Bluegrass Gospel Band.
