Hannah Dasher at Avon Theater with Special Guest Dee White
CRITIC’S PICK
Sat., Oct. 24
Hannah Dasher, Dee White, Avon Theatre — Rocking country singer/songwriter Dasher has released a steady stream of singles, along with a few EPs, since her 2019 debut. She exudes the sass of Miranda Lambert along with the backwoods sensibilities and husky pipes of Bobby Gentry, plus Loretta Lynn’s honky tonk. They make a combustive combination, especially when adding a funk backbeat under pedal steel on her stunning recent cover of Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” that practically remakes the country classic. And when she turns up the hard twang and swaggering Dolly-isms on “Waffle House,” it’s clear she’s ready to move to the next level of popularity. Catch her in a small joint while you can. — Hal Horowitz

Whether she's whipping up a viral recipe or a hit song, Music Row predicted she’ll be the Next Big Thing. She's a Fender Next artist, a CMT Next Women of Country and a regular on the Grand Ole Opry. But Whiskey Riff believes Hannah Dasher is still “one of Nashville’s best kept secrets, much like Chris Stapleton used to be.” They claim she’s one of the best live acts they’ve seen in a long time. A true entertainer, she’s amassed over 1.5M followers on TikTok and has become a viral sensation onother platforms.
Walk into her “Honkytonk Graceland” home and find that this artist is no character.
She lives like she looks. Preserving the best of nostalgic Country music and building upon it with a fresh, new sound, Hannah Dasher feels like the big piece of the puzzle we’ve been missing for a while. Stephen Hubbard -ABC Country
This year she released the long awaited, Stand By Your Pan, which has already been named one of Amazon’s favorite books of the year and is in the top 10 worldwide for Southern Cuisine, Food & Wine.
Dee White- 8pm
Dee White won’t object if you call him an “old soul.” The singer / songwriter from the tiny community of Slapout, Alabama, finds his deepest joy in the people, places, and sounds that came before. Hank Williams, Gene Watson, John Anderson, Vern Gosdin, and Charlie Rich shape his vocal approach and songcraft.
Offstage he hunts antiques—especially guitars —and counts an octogenarian songwriter among his closest friends. “I learn more from old stuff,” White says. “I try to hang on to bits of it, because it’s going to be gone, as we all will be. The hope is that maybe some other young person will come along and learn something from me that I learned from an 80-year-old object or person.”
That preservationist impulse has guided a career built on substance over trend. Encouraged early by legendary record man Harold Shedd, White arrived in Nashville as a teenager and cut his 2019 debut Southern Gentleman with producers Dan Auerbach and David Ferguson. The record introduced a voice already steeped in classic country and Americana, featuring contributions from Alison Krauss and Ashley McBryde. He supported the album on the road opening for Alan Jackson, Alison Krauss, and Ashley McBride, sharpening both his craft and stage presence.
In 2025 White released his sophomore album Heart Talkin’, produced by Grammy-winning architect of modern country Tony Brown. Recorded live on the floor at Sound Emporium and The Castle with elite Nashville players, the project deepened White’s commitment to detail-oriented songwriting and robust, controlled vocals while remaining rooted in Southern storytelling. It confirmed him as an artist equally at home with chicken-picking energy and quiet ballads, and it set the stage for the next chapter.
Since Heart Talkin’, White has steadily expanded his footprint as a live performer and independent force. He has returned to the Grand Ole Opry stage (including a performances during the Opry’s 100th-anniversary celebrations), delivered standout sets at AmericanaFest, the Bluebird Café, and other key Nashville rooms, and built a devoted following through his ongoing residency series at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge in Madison, Tennessee.
The monthly “Dee @ Dee’s” nights — often themed around heroes such as Don Williams, Patsy Cline, or Sun Records—have become a reliable destination for fans seeking authentic country and Americana in an intimate setting, complete with special guests and strong local support.
In 2026 White released the single “Green River Rye”, a raw acoustic-trio recording born from a Kentucky hunting trip and personal heartbreak, later expanded with a distinctive Irish folk arrangement featuring musicians he met during his first visit to the Your Roots Are Showing conference in Belfast. The dual versions underscored both his songwriting honesty and growing international connections.
Looking ahead, White is set to make his Australian return at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January 2027, return to Ireland for the Your Roots Are Showing Music Conference in late February 2027, and host a super-fan bus tour of Ireland in early March 2027. These dates mark a clear next step in taking his music—and the living tradition it carries—beyond U.S. stages. Whether in a Nashville club, on the Opry stage, or across oceans, Dee White delivers the honest, earthy tones of bluegrass, classic country, and Americana with the confidence of someone who has already done the hard work of listening. He represents both the past and the future of country music: a careful craftsmanwhose songs and performances invite audiences to lean in, remember, and pass it on.
