TALENT SCOUT – Kenny White

Kenny White is a quadruple threat – a singer, songwriter, pianist and producer with a knack for summing-up the human condition in half a song verse or less. (Take the lyrics “So you might as well put it on the line once in awhile, Maybe leave something more than ashes in a pile,” from his song “Five Girls.” Need we say more?

White’s latest affecting release is entitled Long List of Priors. Catch him on-tour supporting Stephen Stills and Judy Collins, as well as headlining his own shows across the U.S and Europe throughout 2017 and beyond. Read more…

(The last time for me was with Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black and that was ten years ago!) Well, it’s finally happened again, and the record is Kenny White’s Long List of Priors.   Read more…
