Jim White
Future Yard Presents
Jim White is a self-taught guitarist and singer who has seen a lot of life.
He’s been a European fashion model, professional surfer, boxer, preacher, and dishwasher, culminating with thirteen long years driving a taxicab in New York City, where he crossed paths with David Byrne, who later signed White to his Luaka Bop label.
There followed a succession of critically acclaimed solo records, appearances on major network shows like Letterman and Conan, plus several off-beat side project releases (Hellwood with Johnny Dowd, Mama Lucky, Sounds of the Americans)
His music runs the gamut – alt-country, indie pop, experimental music of various kinds. It is by turns deep, catchy, dark, beautiful, sad, and funny. Above all, he’s a brilliant lyricist and storyteller.
Many of his songs have appeared in film and television, (‘Word-Mule’ in Breaking Bad, and ‘Static on the Radio’ in El Camino with Aimee Mann)
He starred in the 2003 award winning BBC documentary, ‘Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus’, a road movie set in the rural South, which has attained cult status among southern gothic fans far and wide.
His first novel, Incidental Contact, is based on his days driving the taxi in New York City. He’s been published in the literary music journal Radio Silence, receiving the prestigious Pushcart Prize for short fiction. He served as literary commentator for the National Endowment of the Arts. He exhibits visual art in galleries across the US and Europe.
Don’t miss the last UK show of Jim White’s European tour, promoting his upcoming album: Gone Forever, Be Back Soon
Support comes from Igloo Hearts, a folk-pop duo from North Wales, blend haunting harmonies, cinematic piano, and intricate guitar to tell deeply personal stories of love, loss, and hope. Born from grief and healing, their music feels like one voice in two bodies — raw, emotional, and unforgettable.
The monthly Blue Lantern musical extravaganzas they’ve been hosting over the last two years in Storyhouse, Chester, have achieved cult status.
