Don White is the clown prince of folk. Whether in song or in banter between songs, he tells humorous stories of American life that involve his wife, his kids, his dog, or any combination thereof. A perfect sense of timing is crucial in the limited space he inhabits, and White always hits the mark, making him all the more appealing in a hushed auditorium environment. His latest venture is Memoirs of a C Student, a 264-page collection of 12 short stories that follow a similar thread as his memorable acoustic folk songs.

This Saturday, June 14, White is playing a special Father’s Day show at the Union Hall Coffeehouse in Carlisle. The fun starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $18. I highly recommend seeing him in concert if you enjoy creative and humorous singer/songwriters.
