If Bryan White was wishing on someone else’s star in the ‘90s, then someone else was wishing on his over the past decade.
After a successful career with hits such as “Someone Else’s Star,” “From this Moment On,” with Shania Twain and “Rebecca Lynn,” the Grammy-award winner took a break from recording to marry actress Erika Page and the couple now has two sons.
In late 2009, White released a new album, “Dustbowl Dreams,” and is touring again. On Tuesday, he will perform at Dosey Doe Coffee House in The Woodlands. When White plays close to his family in Texas, they all come to his shows — a tradition White says he’s looking forward to.
“Dosey Doe is an incredible place,” White said. “I remember playing there last year.
“It’s fun to play venues like that. I like to talk and I think country is the genre that really amplifies how important it is to do things like that,” he added. “That’s the origin of country music – just sitting down with a guitar. That venue is different compared to any other venue I’ve done.”
Over his career, White charted 17 singles on Billboard’s Country Charts and had six No. 1 singles, as well as two platinum records and two gold records. After he and Shania Twain teamed up for “From This Moment On,” the song made it to number four on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart.
Getting back into the swing of things has been easier because of the road White paved with his earlier career.
“It’s a good feeling because you take time off, live a little and experience some real life issues,” he explained. “It’s more exciting now because I have a brand because of the hard work I’ve done for many years.
“The exciting part is I have something of great measure to say and before I was just this naïve kid who knew he had a talent to sing,” he added. “You want to have hit songs, but it’s not my first priority. My first priority is being honest with me and my fans and the rest will follow.”
For the New Year, White says his career is looking good, but his resolutions are focused inward.
“I want to fight harder for my family,” he said. “I’m trying to be a little more prompt – that’s a curse hanging over every musician.
“I want to try to be better at following through,” he added. “I’m going to focus on being a good dad and husband.”
White’s performance at Dosey Doe, 25911 Interstate 45 in The Woodlands, is part of the venue’s Real Life Real Music series featuring dinner and a show, which includes salad, entrée, dessert and beverage.
Tickets are $46 per person and reservations may be made online at
www.doseydoe.com. The show starts at 8 p.m., but audience members are asked to arrive between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. for dinner.
