Alex White & Friends

Artist Information

Biography

Playing an assortment of original music along with a combination of covers that he's re-arranged, White's ear for music has been described as: “A laid-back blend of hip-hop, folk and pop that puts him in close company with the likes of Ben Harper, Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. He (White) sings, raps, scats and beat-boxes atop “groove oriented” story songs built around his acoustic guitar.” (Chris DeVille, Columbus Dispatch’s Alive!)

He sings, raps, scats and beat-boxes atop "groove-oriented" story songs, usually tales of romantic pursuits built around acoustic guitar. It's a style many attempt, but few pull off with flair."

Not many will be quitting their day jobs, but only a few are really good. Alex White probably won't be performing on the sidewalk in front of Rowe Boutique (718 N High St.) for long. He's become a gallery hop staple, performing his own folk/funk/reggae-inspired music, drawing a big enough crowd to divert foot traffic to the street." - 614 magazine
