Don White Live at the Parish Center for the Arts
A Night of Music, Laughter, and Family April 21 at 7:30PM

       Don White brings his unique show to the Parish Center for the Arts on April 21 at 7:30PM. Tickets $15. 
       There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He has survived and thrived for twenty years, bringing his audiences to laughter and tears in his live performances, studio recordings, and on the printed page. He is a storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter. He is a walking challenge to the phrase "file under." Best to just sort him under "Don White."
       "It's a weird, unique blend, I think. I'm not sure how you sell this. It would be easier if, say, I just played gospel music. You could say that. But I kind invented what I do. There's no easy way to say it."
       White started out as a songwriter, then took a detour through Boston's swinging comedy scene at Catch A Rising Star in the early 90s before coming back to the city's venerable folk scene with a whole new approach. White now had the toolkit of both songwriter and club comedian - he was "comedian funny," not "folk funny," he says. "I was bringing comedian sensibilities to my show, and then I had a couple of emotional songs like 'I Know What Love Is' so first the audience is laughing, and then they're crying, and I bring them back. That is my niche."  
       White has headlined his own touching and uproarious shows and shared the stage with legends like Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Ritchie Havens, and The Band. He tours regularly in a co-headlining show with Christine Lavin. He has released five studio albums, two live albums, a greatest hits collection, and a co-headliner live album with Christine Lavin, as well as two DVDs and his autobiography, Memoirs of a C Student. His latest studio album, Winning Streak, is available now on iTunes an at www.cduniverse.com.
