If there were an East Nashville Music Hall of Fame, Amelia White would already be in it. The now famous scene was in its formative days when White arrived from Boston in the early 2000’s and became a fixture at The Family Wash. She’s been a leading light in America’s most musical zip code. Ever since, even as she developed a reputation in the rest of the U.S. and Europe as a first-rate songwriter, she helped define and refine the core folk-rock sound of Americana with her unique sound and her carefully wrought lyrics. She’s a poet who has been compared to more famous songwriters like Lucinda Williams for years now. She has quickly distinguished herself as a new benchmark. She’s shared shows with Brandy Clark, Asleep at the Wheel, John Prine and Justin Townes Earle. White has always gleaned song inspiration through talking with people in the cities she visits. “I find that if I truly open up on stage, people want to tell me about the skeletons in their closets.”, says White. “Over the last couple of decades, East Nashville fixture Amelia White has built a folk-pop catalog that's as unfussy as it is consistent in quality, and full of insinuating hooks, slyly sleepy singing and lean, jangly backing. "Rhythm of the Rain," the title cut of the album she released in January, looks at the current political frenzy from a seasoned, bohemian remove.” - Jewly Hight NPR Music, August 2019
