John Clayton White: Lead Guitarist and Singer of the John Clayton White and the 662 Band

Blues Prodigy– My Guest, John Clayton White, Lead Guitarist and Singer of the John Clayton White and the 662 Band.

“Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I play the blues and then not be blue anymore.” ~ B. B. King

There is something special when someone discovers that they have a talent for something.  However, it is something magical when that person’s talent becomes their passion.  My guest this week is Mr. John Clayton White and he is a 13 year old guitarist that loves singing and playing the blues.

Mr. White noticed that he had an affinity for music at the young age of 5 when he started with his first drum set.  Like most young people he gravitated toward the things that he found an interest in.  Playing baseball and basketball was fun, but he said at the age of 9 he really started to love playing the guitar.  Getting a chance to perform at a fair he knew he wanted to be a performer.

Using YouTube as his guide, he practiced learning how to play the guitar and it wasn’t long before he was performing at clubs and other venues regularly.  This eventually lead him to forming the John Clayton White and the 662 Band.  Mr. White recently put out his first record in which he wrote the songs and the music and says he is working on putting out his second record later this year.

I am excited to see where this young man goes in this world.  My guess is, he will inspire many by playing the blues and spreading joy.  John Clayton White will be competing in the International Blues Challenge Regional band competition on October 13th at Club Ebony in Indianola.  Winning there will send them to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis on Jan. 8th.  You can learn more about John Clayton White by going to http://www.johnclaytonwhitemusic.com and follow him on his FB, IG, TikTok and YT channels.  On his website, you can order merch as well as his first EP.
