I am a singer, songwriter based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I perform acoustic music, both originals and creative covers. I play acoustic guitar and some harmonica. I often perform solo, but I can put together an acoustic duo or trio when needed. I am available to perform at most any event needing live music. I love to play at private parties, as well as house concerts, festivals, coffeehouses, restaurants, and bars and clubs. The hourly cost I have listed on this site is negotiable, depending on travel and other factors. Give me a holler!
Here's what they say about me:
When you hear Effron White, you are immediately struck by the uniqueness of his songs and their delivery. His gravelly vocal quality is reminiscent of Tom Waits, John Prine, or Bob Dylan; yet, there's a personal earthiness that drives the emotional truth of his songs right into your heart.
As a songwriter, Effron draws his influences from those legends of the past who are looked upon as poets as much as songwriters, such as Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, and Guy Clark. His skills as a singer/songwriter have resulted in nationwide recognition. In 2004, Effron won the coveted New Folk award at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival. He has also been honored as the Northwest Arkansas Music Award's (NAMA) Best Folk Artist and, two years in a row, Best Singer-Songwriter. He is now in the NW Arkansas Music Awards Hall of Fame. His Song “Long Haul” achieved 1st Place (Americana/Folk) in the 2011 Billboard Song Contest and ranked in the top 5 (Country) in the 2010 Great American Song Contest.
He has released three CDs on his independent Sticker Freak Records label.
Paul Pearcy (Jerry Jeff Walker, Lost Gonzo Band, Dixie Chicks) says of Effron’s work, Every song tells a story, and his voice is full of the character needed to deliver it.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Keep in mind that you and my audience are most important to me. My goal is to make my performance fun and moving for all. I strive to put the audience and my patrons first, and not act like some spoiled "rock star". I am hired to do a job, and I intend to do it to the best of my ability.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. My greatest love is writing and performing my own original tunes, and connecting with the audience through them, touching hearts, possibly changing lives. Other than that, having fun performing both originals and creative and somewhat more familiar cover tunes.

A. Can you keep an audience's attention, and show it a good time, in a professional and polite manner?
