February 21 features Don White, a troubadour with a thirty-year track record of making audiences laugh and cry – often in the same song. A self-described “storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter”, Don White blends heartfelt folk music with side-splitting comedy in a way no one else can. He’s been called “one of the most popular acts on the [folk] circuit”, a performer who can play an audience “the way Leo Kottke plays a 12-string” guitar. Armed with an acoustic guitar, a sharp wit, and a big heart, White spins everyday life into stories that hit home – from the trials of parenting and marriage to personal triumphs and absurd observations. “No artist on the coffeehouse circuit today is better than Don White at combining the heartfelt aesthetics of the singer-songwriter with side-splitting laughs,” declares The Boston Globe, and that’s exactly what Northwest Park listeners can look forward to.Over three decades, Don White has amassed key achievements that speak to his talent. He’s released ten albums and a book, won the Jerry Christen Memorial Award for folk community service, and shared stages with music legends like Arlo Guthrie, Janis Ian, and Taj Mahal. He’s a staple at storytelling festivals (from the National Storytelling Festival in Tennessee to Utah’s Timpanogos Festival), and his songs have become anthems for families – often prompting both laughter and misty eyes. On this night, White will take you on an emotional rollercoaster: one moment you’ll be roaring at his comedic tales, and the next you’ll be moved by a poignant ballad about love or life’s lessons. It’s a performance style that “brings audiences to laughter and tears”, delivered with warmth, authenticity, and the ease of a master raconteur.
