text: In 2003 White backed Nina Nastasia and subsequently was recorded on her albums Run to Ruin (2003) and On Leaving (2006). On 28 May 2007 the pair released a collaborative album,  You Follow Me. It was co-produced by White, Nastasia and Kennan Gudjonsson. AllMusic's Thom Jurek noted that White "is not an accompanist here, he is a collaborator, even though he didn't write the songs", with the production emphasising his "full of bassy tom toms and wispy brushwork" where White "floats, digs, sputters, halts, and pushes through the music, just as [Nastasia's] playing guitar and singing does".
  In 2013 he started playing with Anderson Henderson White.
  White formed Xylouris White in 2013, a collaboration with Greek singer and laouto player George Xylouris. The duo's music has been described as combining "free-jazz, avant-rock and ages-old Greek folk traditions." To date they have released three albums, produced by Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), and undertaken numerous world tours.
  When not performing or recording, White lives in New York City.
