White’s first move was to Boston where she cut her teeth in the same thriving folk scene that turned out Mary Gauthier and Lori McKenna. She was equally at home in the subway and rock clubs, and she formed an arty rock band that won a Boston Music award. The songs poured out, and she played, toured, and found ways to record her first two albums. Her travels landed her in Nashville a dozen years ago. She’s found a sense of family - friends, outcasts, lovers, and many musical partners who share a similar drive, and sensitivity to heartache. She also found a growing number of fans of her songwriting. With her 2006 album “Black Doves” (released by Funzalo Records), she began playing stages like eTown, circuits in Europe, and sharing shows with some of her heroes: Rosie Flores, Asleep At The Wheel, Slaid Cleaves, and Tim O’Brien. Some of her songs found there way into TV shows such as “Justified” and “Summerland.” White says of her hometown, “Nashville has been good to me. The low cost of living helps to keep me doing my thing, I’ve recorded four albums here. I love being surrounded by top shelf writers and players and the competition is a beautiful thing.” Charles & Myrtle's Coffehouse, 105 McBrien Rd. www.christunity.org.
