Singer/songwriter Kenny White has been hailed by reviewers from the NY Times to the SF Chronicle for his thrilling and unique piano playing, quickly gaining a reputation as a 'dazzling' and 'not-to-be-missed' performer. White has performed with artists like Peter Wolf, Gladys Knight, Linda Ronstadt, Dwight Yoakam, Ricky Skaggs, Kim Carnes, and Aaron Neville among many others. In addition, White has produced several albums including Shawn Colvin's Grammy-nominated, "I Don't Know Why" and went on to produce three records for legendary J. Geils Band leader, Peter Wolf; the second of which, Sleepless, garnered the distinction by Rolling Stone magazine as being one of "the 500 greatest albums ever made." This gave Kenny a chance to work with Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and Steve Earle.

Kenny White's newly released Comfort in the Static (Wildflower Records) is soulful singer-songwriting at its best; this album follows the human condition with unbridled detail and humor, showcasing him as a deft storyteller employing striking arrangements and spot-on vocals reminiscent of Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan and early Randy Newman. With such seasoned, interpretive musicians as Duke Levine, Shawn Pelton and Marty Ballou backing him up, as well as the contributions of Big Al Anderson and ubiquitous T-Bone Burnett collaborator, Stephen Barber, White wrote and produced this new album with the listener in mind. Kenny White's lush piano melodies, vulnerable vocals and insightful lyrics make for a seminal recording that observes the boundaries between jazz, blues, rock, pop and folk...and then proceeds to step over them.
