Jim White is an Australian drummer, producer, and songwriter best known for co-founding the brilliant instrumental rock group Dirty Three in addition to working with Nick Cave, Will Oldham, Cat Power, and numerous other musicians. A highly versatile, disciplined musician, his playing can be restrained and delicate (with brushes prominent) or intense and sporadic, and he's easily adapted to numerous genres, from country and folk to noise-rock and free improvisation. He is highly regarded by countless indie rock and experimental musicians, and has become a go-to player, particularly among the Chicago and New York music communities. ~ Paul Simpson
