Tony Joe White Performs at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall
Tony Joe White is in his seventh decade of creating music.
Beginning on the cotton farm in Louisiana, Tony Joe White learned
to play his father’s guitar by ear. On his latest album, entitled
Hoodoo, White continues to produce an ethereal, authentic
bayou guitar trance. Awash in danger, spiritual uncertainty, and
environmental fury, the album’s lyrical concerns are matched by a
particularly intense strain of White’s trademark swamp funk. Doors
open 7 p.m.; show starts 8 p.m. Admission is $43.50 first 6 rows;
$38.50 all remaining rows. 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra Beach
