It's finally here. The night we've all been waiting for.
Jim White is set to play this Saturday, April 2nd at 7pm at the STANDARD DELUXE outdoor stage in Waverly, AL.
After this, he's off to Amsterdam & London to open for Ron Sexsmith & look at red lights & so on. Naturally, he will be launching his international tour in Alabama. If you haven't yet been to Waverly, it's time to go. Waverly's YELLOW HAMMER restaurant will treat you right with elegantly prepared fine dining & STANDARD DELUXE outdoor stage + (by day) screenprinting/design headquarters is a nexus for all things of an advancing artistical nature.
Songwriter-artist/music-preacher Jim White is known for his darkly beautiful ballads as well as the 2004 BBC Documentary THE SEARCH F0R THE WR0NG EYED JESUS, in which he travels the rural deep south attempting to pin-point in just which ways her twisted heart has left her mark on him as southern artist.
White has worked with artists Victoria Williams, the British electronica trio Morcheeba, Aimee Mann, the Barenaked Ladies, The Sadies, and producers David Byrne and Joe Henry - to name just a few collaborations. His current work, the upcoming album WHERE IT HITS Y0U has been funded by Kickstarter, the process of which is chronicled by Jim on Kickstarter at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/531333111/jim-whites-call-to-arms-0. Be sure to watch the video, which reads like a surreal late-night shopping-network plug for an independent record album. Glory. Hallelujah.
