The Jim White Show

Come see singer- song-writer Jim White in the Rialto Club at Hotel Indigo Athens! Georgia-based alternative country musician.

"There’s no conventional marketplace category that even remotely describes what I do, unless consummate outsider could be considered a commercial genre.

For the last thirty years, I’ve split my time and creative vision between working as a musician (eight studio albums, five side projects), a visual artist (exhibitions both nationally and internationally), and a writer (2 books, 1 Pushcart Prize for short fiction).

At the unlikely age of thirty-eight, I was “discovered”, then championed by David Byrne,

of Talking Heads fame. Before that, I worked in obscurity, so it was a big paradigm shift.

Songs of mine have been featured in film and TV, including prime slots in the Breaking Bad

franchise. My debut novel, Incidental Contact, was described by Mojo Magazine as

“unputdownable”.

I live a fairly reclusive life out in rural Georgia, and am father to two amazing daughters, one of whom is rising country music star Willow Avalon." - Jim White
