MUSIC

Brooks Williams is as diverse and versatile a musician as you are likely to encounter. He is quite simply one of the most entertaining and engaging performers on the circuit today. With bluesy fingerpicking, soaring bottleneck slide and swinging flatpicking, Brooks Williams music is rooted in the blues and is as fresh and original as any music you are likely to hear. His unique combination of traditional and original music inspired Rolling Stone Magazine to praise him for his “Deft, tasteful guitar chops.” His guitar skills won him a place on the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists list, in company with the likes of Michael Hedges, Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, Doc Watson and David Bromberg. Add to this his fine songwriting and powerful vocals and it is no wonder that The Boston Globe said simply “Whew! Can that boy play!”
