John Paul White back over in UK/EU for a series of shows

John Paul White is getting back over to the UK/EU with a series of shows starting later this month. 

Commenting on the upcoming tour, John Paul White states: “I’m incredibly excited to make my way back over to the UK/EU. It’s been five years since I’ve played shows overseas”. White, an-always-working artist, songwriter, producer has got into the habit of touring and recording non-stop.

White’s latest solo album, The Hurting Kind, draws on the lush, orchestrated music made in Nashville in the 1960s. Yet these songs retain a modern feel, whether he’s writing about overwhelming love, unraveling relationships, or fading memory of a loved one. White grew up in tiny Loretto, Tennessee, and now lives in Florence, Alabama, not far from Muscle Shoals. He has cultivated his career in Nashville for two decades, first as a songwriter for a major publisher, then as half of The Civil Wars – a groundbreaking duo that won four Grammy Awards before disbanding in 2012. Because The Civil Wars were so hard to categorize, White has earned a fan base among indie rock listeners, folk audiences, Americana outlets, and AAA radio. So, what will happen if people hear The Hurting Kind and call it country? “Well, that doesn’t scare me in the least,” he says. “As a matter of fact, it kind of thrills me.”
