From last.fm:

Kenny White (b. in New York) is a very talented American songwriter originally known only as a writer of music for radio and TV commercials but now publicly playing piano, organ and guitar. Even before having started producing his very own albums, he has contributed to Cheryl Wheeler's gigs and CD's. The songs he writes are deeply personal, many are also political (this meaning left-winged). His music style is a mixture of folk and melodic pop (with bluegrass elements).
