Jim White: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
NPR Say:
Jim White is a storyteller first and a musician second. It's a kind of storytelling rooted in his own unusual history: He grew up in Florida in a deeply Pentecostal community and fell in love with the white gospel music he heard. But from there, White took a surprising path to becoming a full-time musician. He was a professional surfer, a boxer, a fashion model in Milan and a cab driver in New York City. White's travels recently took him to Washington, D.C., where he stopped by the offices of NPR Music for this live performance.

Saw Jim once a long while ago and have the first 5/6 albums he made. Unique.
He has just been playing up North here . . . my old boss and mentor went to see him and sent me a clip! I was gobsmacked as had heard nothing of his appearance over here. You?
I did see something about him working with another artist I hadn't heard of but can't remember any more than that haha!
