Hip hop, blues and RnB all in the blend for Orange singer-songwriter Brad White

Live & Kicking — Art’s Out West’s gig series celebrating original local music — continues at the Blind Pig this Sunday, May 1, with an afternoon session from singer-songwriter Brad White.

Growing up in Orange, Brad discovered his love for music through his family. From high school to his early twenties he played in various bands and toured all over Australia.

But more recently, Brad has refined his sound which can best be described as a blend of hip hop, blues and RnB.

“Brad’s influences include ‘The Used’ to ‘Ab-Soul’ which fuels him to create a sound with his voice and guitar that fills the dancefloor providing an atmosphere of fun wherever he plays,” said Arts OutWest’s Patrick Coomey.

Brad has also pursued his love for music by studying audio engineering and currently works as an assistant at a recording studio.

Dividing his time between Sydney and Orange, Brad can be found playing covers at pubs and bars every weekend and is in demand for weddings. Recently, he has begun playing shows with his own material, as well as recording them. He has just released his second EP ‘Déjà vu’.

Entry to the show on Sunday is free, said Patrick, presented by Arts OutWest in conjunction with The Blind Pig, and supported by the Australian Government’s Live Music Australia program.

“These Live & Kicking gigs are about showcasing and supporting newly published, original live music by local artists,” said Patrick.

Catch Brad White at the Blind Pig Sound Lounge & Bar from 4pm this Sunday, May 1.
