American alt-country artist Jim White brings his UK tour to Cabaret Voltaire, with special guest Ben de la Cour.
Jim White brings his UK tour to Cabaret Voltaire on Saturday 8 May, with Ben de la Cour opening the night. White is an American alt-country artist, and this is one of the dates on his tour across the UK, with the Edinburgh stop falling on a Saturday night.
If you're not familiar with him, alt-country is a good place to start: it's country music that's moved away from the Nashville mainstream and into something a bit more independent and stripped-back. White has built his reputation on that sound, and this tour takes it to the UK. Ben de la Cour is the special guest on the bill, so there are two acts on the night rather than just one.

Cabaret Voltaire is at 36 Blair Street, EH1 1QR, right in the heart of the city. It's a small, well-known spot that's hosted plenty of touring acts over the years, and this is one of the dates White is playing as he works his way through the country. The set starts at 20:00, so it's a proper evening gig rather than a late-night one, with the support act and the main feature both on the same bill. If you've followed his work before, this is a chance to hear it live in Edinburgh; if you haven't, it's a straightforward way to get a proper introduction to his sound. The show is on Saturday 8 May, starting at 20:00 at Cabaret Voltaire.
