White vart med i The Country Boys tidleg i karrieren, og etter to år i militæret, kom han attende til dette bandet, som då hadde skifta namn til Kentucky Colonels. I 1967 fekk han høve til å bli med i The Blue Grass Boys, bandet til barndomsidolet hans, Bill Monroe. Han bidrog med ni songar til dette bandet[1] og var medlem her fram til 1969, då han vart med i The Nashville Grass, som var bandet til Lester Flatt. White vart verande med Flatt fram til 1973, då han kom saman med tidlegare bandkollegaer i The New Kentucky Colonels. Dette vart berre nokre månadar då han og bandmedlemmet Clarence White vart påkøyrd av ein bil medan dei lasta utstyr i bilen etter ein konsert. White fekk skuldera ute av ledd, men White døydde i ulukka.

White vart så med det progressive bluegrass-bandet Country Gazette, og var der i 13 år. I 1987 vart han med i Nashville Bluegrass Band, der han var fram til 2000. Han skipa så The Roland White Band.
