TONY JOE WHITE

Event information

Tony Joe White first experienced European success when his album Black & White was released by Monument in 1968. Now, 45 years later, he returns to play a series of shows in the countries that were among the first to embrace his music. White will be touring in support of his forthcoming studio release titled Who You Gonna Hoo-doo?

Since 1968, many other artists have interpreted his songs, including Brook Benton’s unforgettable take on “Rainy Night in Georgia” in 1970, Elvis Presley’s enigmatic live performance of “Polk Salad Annie,” and Tina Turner’s soulful rendition of “Steamy Windows.” Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Etta James, and many others have also covered the songs of this legendary singer and songwriter.
