Jim White is a legendary drummer and composer from Melbourne, Australia who has been active for more than 30 years. He is a founding member of the group Dirty Three and has collaborated with luminaries such as Will Oldham, Cat Power, Bill Callahan and PJ Harvey who has described White’s unique playing style as “mesmerizing… like a voice, or a dancer, or a painter”.

He is one of the best-loved artists in Greece, part of a famous musical family including his father the singer and lyra player Psarantonis, a man beloved by everyone from ethnomusicologists to Nick Cave, and his late uncle Nikos Xylouris, a singer and lyre player who became a symbol of the protest movement that brought down the Greek military junta in 1973.
