Blanco White started as the solo project of Londoner Josh Edwards in 2014. After studying guitar in
Cádiz (Spain), and later the Andean instrument the charango in Sucre (Bolivia), Edwards’ aim was to
begin bringing together elements of Andalusian and Latin American music alongside influences
closer to home.
Between 2016 and 2017, signed to London based indie Yucatan, Blanco White released his first two
EPs ‘The Wind Rose’ EP and ‘Colder Heavens’ EP. By 2018 and with the release of his third
‘Nocturne’ EP, Blanco White was selling out shows from Europe to the States, along with his most
recent tour across Autumn 2019.
With every release Blanco White has gone up a gear, from the haunting acoustic sound of 2016’s
The Wind Rose EP to the meatier, more expansive recent single On The Other Side, the first taste of
his nearly-completed, self-produced debut album. The second, Papillon, released in September,
turns the intensity up with Josh’s most mesmerising vocal to date delivering his trademark poetic
lyrics.
Following the release of his successful first album ‘On the Other Side’ in 2020, a UK headline tour in
May 2022, and a Jose Gonzalez and Gregory Alan Isakov support across Europe, Blanco White is
now back with the beautiful new single ‘Treasure I Once Held’.
