2026 Summer/Fall Singer Songwriter Series: Dee White and Stevie Tombstone

Dee White is a preservationist. On his 2nd album Heart Talkin’, produced by Grammy-winning Nashville visionary Tony Brown, the 28-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Slapout, Alabama, is committed to celebrating the people and things that came before. Over 10 tracks, he sings about mischievous old men at a church potluck dinner, laments the way his lover treats him like a discarded paper cup, and ruminates on the lesser qualities of humanity that are passed on through generations. Heart Talkin’ is the follow-up to Dee’s 2020 debut album Southern Gentleman, which paired him with producers Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and David “Ferg” Ferguson. After beginning his career as a teenager under the encouragement of legendary record man Harold Shedd, Dee has evolved into his own man and artist, touring the world with icons like Alan Jackson and Alison Krauss and with fellow rising stars like Jackson Dean. He represents both the past and the future of country and Americana music.

 StevieTombstone is a seasoned troubadour and songwriter whose music blends folk, classic country, blues, and rockabilly into a sound that is both timeless and deeply personal. Known for his raw honesty and powerful storytelling, Tombstone has spent decades traveling the highways of America crafting songs shaped by life on the road and the struggles and triumphs that come with it.

Often described as a “best kept secret” of Americana music, Stevie Tombstone has earned praise for his authentic style and emotionally charged performances that recall legends such as Johnny Cash and other outlaw storytellers. With a career spanning stages across the country, he continues to captivate audiences with songs that are gritty, soulful, and undeniably real.
