Jim White at the Simcoe St. Theatre

Jim White comes to us from Georgia with his creative Americana style and storytelling. He has not been in Canada in 20 years. He just made the Paste magazines 21 out of 70 Best Alt Rock Records of all time. 

White crossed paths with David Byrne (Talking Heads), who promptly signed White to a record deal. Over the ensuing twenty years there followed a succession of critically acclaimed solo records, appearances on major network shows like Letterman and Conan, plus several off-beat side project releases (Hellwood, Mama Lucky, Sounds of the Americans).

White was a pro surfer and a New York City cab driver for thirteen years.  He served as literary commentator for the National Endowment of the Arts.  He was a European fashion model.  He once nearly got in a fist fight with Ellen Degeneres.  There’s lots more non linear information that doesn’t really fit the usual bio format. But that’s Jim—he gets around.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to see Jim in Canada.  It's been a while...
