Jesco White

Referred to as 'Appalachian Royalty' by some, Jesco is best known as 'The Dancing Outlaw'. Taking the shoes that were handed down to him from his father D Ray White (one of the greatest mountain tap dancers in the United States), Jesco practices a style of dancing that is a subtle mix of tap and clog dancing derived from this native Appalachian region.

Many became aware of Jesco through third generation VCR tapes that were copied and handed off in a series of unimaginable successions that made him the cult icon that he is today. From Architects to Mechanics, Jesco's mystique and charm have captivated people for over a decade ... and made him one of the most notorious members of the 'hellbilly' movement. Jesco has been linked to many popular artists through song. Big and Rich mention him by name in the single 'Comin to Your City'. Hank Williams III wrote the song 'Legend of D Ray White',
