Dee White

An Alabama native with a tender tenor and an ageless, pure-country style rooted deep in the Southern classics Dee White’s story is a wild one. A student of icons like Hank Williams and Vern Gosdin, White started performing on a lark when his tiny school kicked off a theater class with a mandatory, on-the-spot audition. An obvious talent, he quickly rose to the status of small-town phenom, and just a few years later moved on from bonfire singalongs to something bigger. Still a teenager and working his father dealing antiques, White was introduced by chance to famed music executive Harold Shedd – who happened to be an early believer of acts like Alabama, Reba McEntire, and Shania Twain, helping mold them into superstars. Shedd invited White to share his music, he heard something … an electrifying spark that ignited memories of Alabama heroes past and present, from Hank Williams to Jason Isbell and beyond.
