NORTH READING — The North Reading Community Coffeehouse is proud to present Don White on Saturday, February 3 at the Flint Memorial Library Activity Room, 147 Park St., from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
Equal parts storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter, White has been bringing audiences to laughter and tears for 30 years.
White’s arc as an award-winning songwriter and performer has taken him from his industrial hometown of Lynn, across the country as hitchhiker, through Boston’s comedy clubs and coffeehouses, and onto the stage with greats like Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Ritchie Havens, Patty Larkin, Bill Morrissey, Tom Rush, Louden Wainwright III, and Christine Lavin, with whom he toured for eight years all across North America in a co-bill called “The Funny Side of the Street.”
At every point, White has been the ultimate observer, infusing his work with his experiences as a husband, a father, a seeker, and a joker. In 2011, he won the Jerry Christen Memorial Award, given by Boston Area Coffeehouse Association, for his work with the community.
There is a $20 suggested donation. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All are invited for a great evening of music and storytelling. To reserve a seat, please contact Art Grossman at NRCoffeehouse@gmail.com. Refreshments will be served with proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Flint Memorial Library.
