Snowy White is a member of a unique and select handful of British Blues musicians who's sound and soul echoed the original Chicago and Delta blues masters. Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mayhall are a few of his peers. Snowy and his contemporaries added the ongoing rock sound to the Master's Blues sound: Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, and Freddie King.
In 1974Snowy toured the US East Coast getting as far as New Orleans. He fell more deeply in love with the original blues sound of the South. He returned to London and did session work making a professional name for himself. During this time Snowy became close friends with Peter Green. In 1976 Snowy was asked to become the first augmenting musician to the Pink Floyd line-up.
In 1979 Peter Green invited Snowy into the studio to work on INTO THE SKIES. As the story goes: Peter soon became tiered of the "record release and touring rat race" and began to sell off all his albums and equipment. He offered his 1959 Les Paul to Snowy for 100 pounds. Snowy refused telling Peter, "Put it away for awhile, you might want it later." As we know, Peter didn't hold on to the legendary '59 - he sold it to Gary Moore. Gary held the guitar until 2008 when he sold it.
