Can you believe White Mystery is playing the Taste of Chicago for the SIXTH TIME in 2023? Here’s a few highlights from past years, where we rocked the Illinois Lottery Stage and even danced with the Blackhawks mascot on the Budweiser Stage. See yal on Sunday September 10, 2023 for White Mystery at 6pm at Buckingham Fountain.
White Mystery & Whitney rock Taste of Chicago in its iconic, longtime home near Grant Park’s Buckingham Fountain.

Sunday, July 10 – DJ Miss Alex White (White Mystery) 5pm: Rebecca Brunner and Marina City, presented by Chicago Made 6pm: Local H 7:15pm: Drive-By Truckers
From Chicagoconcertgoers.com, “White Mystery is a brother-sister duo hailing from the city’s north side. Miss Alex White plays guitar and sings. Francis White plays drums and sings some, too. Each has wild, red hair. Both rock hard and heavy. (more…)
White Mystery: “Anything can happen day” came from Mickey Mouse Club fame, but what of a day that offers the sonic whiplash of Natalie Cole and White Mystery? Crazy. So you have the remarkable garage rock of Alex White and her brother Francis to start things off. It’s drums, guitar and a mountain of red hair. It’s also primal drumming, simple lyrics and an energy that remind you of what it must have been like at the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll. It’s also too cool for words.
