Peter White
Pizza Express Live Holborn, WC1V 6LF , [Venue Details]Peter White grew up in the Hertfordshire countryside and was inspired to learn to play the guitar by listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
He relocated to Los Angeles in the late 70s to tour and record with singer Al Stewart and later with Polish singer Basia.
In 1990 he started a successful solo career in the USA but always longed to play in the country of his birth, and that’s what led him to start performing at the PizzaExpress Live, an annual tradition he has now upheld for 26 years!
Over the years, Peter White has maintained a reputation as one of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists on the contemporary jazz scene. His unique blend of lyricism and energy seamlessly weaves together elements of jazz, pop, and classical guitar, creating a sound that is both singular and accessible to a wide audience.
Like many of us, White still feels a deep connection to the music he discovered during his formative years. As a British teenager in the 1960s, he was captivated by the exciting new sounds of rock bands like the Beatles and soul giants like Stevie Wonder. He diligently practiced playing these songs on the acoustic guitar his father had gifted him, and his talent soon became evident. After over four decades as both a leader and sideman, White continues to return to those tunes that profoundly impacted him during his youth.
