Brooks Williams

Brooks Williams & Hans Theessink, May 2018 
In May 2018 Brooks Williams and Hans Theessink, two giants of the blues, came together for a tour in the UK. The two met for the first time in Dallas, Texas back in the 1990s when performing at the iconic Uncle Calvin's Anniversary Concerts. They share a love for the old songs; for Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Leadbelly and Blind Willie McTell; for Piedmont fingerpicking and bottleneck slide. Both Hans and Brooks have recorded numerous albums and their tour schedule would make a run-of-the-mill road dog feel faint.
