Tony Joe White Confirms Fall Tour In Support Of Intimate New Album 'The Shine'

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Iconic southern songwriter Tony Joe White will hit the road this fall in support of his raw and unvarnished new album, 'The Shine' (Sept 28/Swamp Records). The tour will showcase the new album's stripped-down sound, which beautifully lays bare White's rich, nuanced baritone, and distinctive brand of swampy southern soul. Dates kick off September 24, with a performance at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville, TN.

Over the past five decades, Tony Joe White a.k.a. the Swamp Fox, has scored several major hits, and seen some immortal artists turn his compositions into signature songs-from Elvis Presley's version of "Polk Salad Annie" to Ray Charles' take on "Rainy Night In Georgia." Tony Joe has also written for Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams Jr. and Dusty Springfield to name but a few.
