Brooks Williams and Beaucoup Blue January 11, 2009

Brooks Williams has been described as “a fret monster who has to be seen to be believed.” His musical vision spans continents and genres, blues, jazz, slide fingerstyle, with funky chords, walking bass lines and fiery riffs. Fifteen solo recordings and almost two decades of touring have made him one of the most well-respected players on the acoustic circuit. Dirty Linen magazine calls him one of “America’s musical treasures.” (www.brookswilliams.com for sound samples and information)

Beaucoup Blue is the father and son Philadelphia based duo of David and Adrian Mowry. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they also base their love in music from Folk, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Country, and Bluegrass. A handsome range of instruments like six and twelve string guitars, slide guitar, dobro and the two soulful voices blend together like only family members can.
