An Evening with John Paul White

About this concert
With The Hurting Kind, John Paul White has crafted a stunning album that draws on the lush, orchestrated music made in Nashville in the early 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 lives in Florence, Alabama, not far from Muscle Shoals. He has cultivated a music career in Nashville for two decades, first as a songwriter, then 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 fanbase 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.”

JPW is always a consummate performer. He is one of the only artists that sounds better live than on his albums. Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he sounded fantastic! One of the best concerts I’ve been to in a while!
