Timeline

1938

Roland Joseph White (né LeBlanc; April 23, 1938 – April 1, 2022) was an American bluegrass music artist, performing principally on the mandolin.

White was born in Madawaska, Maine, on April 23, 1938, as Roland Joseph LeBlanc, and grew up speaking French.

He was of French-Canadian descent.

At an early age, White formed himself, his two brothers (Eric and Clarence) and his sister (Joanne) into a bluegrass band which performed locally.

When the family moved to California, the group won a talent show on a local radio station, after which a television station hired them (minus Joanne) as The Country Boys.

After a two-year US Army enlistment, White re-joined the Country Boys, now renamed The Kentucky Colonels.

1973

White stayed with Flatt until 1973, when he, Clarence and Eric re-united as The New Kentucky Colonels.

This only lasted a few months; he and Clarence were struck by an automobile as they loaded their equipment into their car after a performance.

Roland White suffered a dislocated shoulder, but Clarence died in the accident.

White then joined the progressive bluegrass group Country Gazette, staying with them for 13 years.

1987

In 1987, he joined the Nashville Bluegrass Band, staying with that group until 2000.

After that he formed the Roland White Band, which was still active until his death.
