Don White, The Yellow Room (Jon Svetkey and Heather Quay) opens

There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He has survived and thrived for twenty-five years, bringing his audiences to laughter and tears in his live performances, studio recordings, and on the printed page. He is a storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter. He is a walking challenge to the phrase “file under.” Best to just sort him under “Don White.”
Don’s approach to music is a weird, unique blend. If he just played folk music, it would be a handy label. But he has invented his own genre with a mix of humor and powerful songwriting. White’s arc as a writer and performer has taken him from his industrial hometown of Lynn, Ma across the country as hitchhiker, through Boston’s comedy clubs and coffeehouses, and onto the stage with greats like Christine Lavin, Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Ritchie Havens, Patty Larkin, Bill Morrissey, Tom Rush, and Louden Wainright III. At every point, White has been the ultimate observer, infusing his work with his experiences as a husband, a father, a seeker, and a joker.

Heather Quay and Jon Svetkey have been singing together for almost 20 years. Together, and separately, they have performed at venues including Club Passim, Cafe Carpe, Cafe 939 at Berklee College, Columbia University and the now defunct Old Vienna Kaffehaus. Their songs embody elements of classic pop, folk and country music while showcasing their love of two-part harmony and fun. They decided to started using the name THE YELLOW ROOM for their duo at the end of 2015 because, well, it's easier to pronounce than Quay and Svetkey!
