"Brooks Williams is one of those select few 'how on earth does he do it?!' artists." (Fatea) 

Cambridge UK-based, Statesboro, Georgia US-born guitarist, singer and songwriter Brooks Williams is admired by both listeners and fellow musician, and has been a leading light on the acoustic music scene for three decades. "He was playing Americana before it had been given the name" (CMP). 

Brooks Williams? guitar skills are evident as he effortlessly slides in and out of folk, blues and country. It comes as no surprise he is listed in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists. 

Born in Statesboro, Georgia USA, Williams moved to Boston at the height of that city?s burgeoning singer-songwriter scene. In the early 1990s, he did his apprenticeship in the bars and clubs in New York and New England and cut his teeth supporting artists like Shawn Colvin, Chris Smither, Rory Block, Leo Kottke, Odetta, Billy Bragg and Taj Mahal. 

His first album, North From Statesboro, caught the attention of The Washington Post and National Public Radio, which set the ball rolling and in subsequent years, he has released a staggering 31 recordings.

On this occasion, he is playing with fiddler Aaron Catlow. With two albums under their belt (Ghost Owl, short-listed 2021 Instrumental Album Of The Year, and Ready For The Times), and a third on the way, AmericanaUK says the duo is ?live music at its best.?

Brooks Williams is ?quite simply one of the most unassuming, natural performers on the circuit, and his easy, relaxed manner conceals the greatest level of true expertise.? (Fatea)
