Brooks Williams - Live in Concert February 8, 2008

Tickets $16.00
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 Dirty Linen magazine to call Brooks Williams one of "America's musical treasures."
Brooks Williams has recorded 17 CDs for labels like Green Linnet Records, Signature Sounds, Red Guitar Blue Music and Solid Air Records. His newest, “The Time I Spend With You,” is a high-energy, up-beat recording of rootsy originals, blues classics, and fingerpicked instrumentals. He’s been praised by the likes of The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Acoustic Guitar, Blues In Britain, and Guitar Player. He has appeared on World Café, The BBC, and All Things Considered, and his recordings receive constant airplay on public, college and Americana radio. His innovative guitar sound-bytes can be heard in between news segments on National Public Radio and on Public Television. Brooks is as diverse and versatile a musician as you are likely to encounter.
He’s a guitarist, a songwriter, and an interpreter; he is a frontman, a sideman, he works solo or in a band - and he is quite simply one of the most entertaining and engaging performers on the circuit today. From coast-to-coast, country-to-country, Williams and his guitars roll and tumble like nobody’s business. www.brookswilliams.com
