Jim White: European tour dates
Country noir musician Jim White will fly out to Europe for a lengthy tour in May and June:
What with Omicron and all it's a mighty chore to assert with any degree of certainty that possible planned public events will actually take place in this year of our Lord 2022...so hold that thought as you read on.
Bearing the above colossal caveat in mind, I'd like to tentatively announce that I'll be touring Europe and the UK again in the late spring of this year. I'll be joined by my good friends gitarist Geert Hellings (guitar) )and Nicolas Rombouts (bass), two amazing musicians who formed a sizeable portion of my backing band for Misfit's Jubilee.

Jim White: "The Divided States of America" video
Country noir musician Jim White has made a video for The Divided States of America, the final song from his new album, Misfit's Jubilee. White is genuinely worried: "I'm typically not the political type but these times we're riding out here, they're anything but typical. At this moment in our collective history it makes sense that voices normally content to remain silent should be lifted in outrage, howling, exhorting our minds and hearts to focus on a singular goal---higher ground for all, not just the rich folks."

Jim White: Smart Ass Reply
Country noir musician Jim White has released Smart Ass Reply, a track from his new album Misfit Jubliee. A former Jesus freak with a soft spot for Alice Cooper, Albert Einstein, nightmares and the mystique of the Deep South somehow fits it all in a rollicking rock song, mixing high and low culture in his inimitable way, while barreling through musical genres with a mischievous grin.

Jim White: crowdfunding campaign for new album "Misfit Jubliee"
Country noir musician Jim White has launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo to cover the costs for his new album Misfit Jubliee. He really wants to avoid working at Wal Mart to make some extra cash. so he is offering a wide variety of "rewards".
Hello fans, old friends, new newcomers, various stalkers, beloved debt collectors, legions of vectoring sycophants, etc.
Welcome to my latest crowdfunding extravaganza. It’s Lets Make A Deal time over here in Jim White Weirdoville. So belly up to the virtual bar and let’s do a little horse trading. This go-round I got a stellar batch of off-the wall, one-of-a-kind goods to throw your way in exchange for some much needed contributions to the overall recording fund. Albums as exotically complicated as mine ain’t cheap to make—hell, the mix alone on this thing ran me five grand.

Jim White: crowdfunding campaign for his new album
Alt-country American singer-songwriter and guitarist Jim White has launched a crowdfunding campaign on PledgeMusic to cover the recording costs of his new album. Plenty of perks are available, including out-of-print albums, pieces of his visual art and - for folks with deeper pockets - house concerts:
I’m making a new record here. It’s filled with all I have to offer, both in words and music. At this point the project is about half done and to cut to the chase, I’m not much for planning ahead particularly when it involves money. I was storming my way through this musical journey when I just just flat ran out of resources. I’d hoped to keep things simple and fund the record by myself, but my life savings have dwindled down to nothing and the project is far from complete.
