BROOKS SOLO!
BROOKS WILLIAMS
Solo Acoustic!
With one foot firmly planted in the land of his birth, Statesboro, Georgia, and the other in the land of his adopted home, Cambridge, UK, Brooks Williams is, as Martin Simpson says, “the real thing.”
His guitar style is called “jaw-droppingly effortless,” his voice is “like chocolate,” and his vast and varied repertoire of both original and interpreted songs as “wholly idiomatic and authentic.” Brooks Williams is a triple-threat in the truest sense of the phrase.
Since his earliest days playing the bars and clubs in New York and New England, to his more recent critically acclaimed concerts with Aaron Catlow or State of the Union, audiences are drawn to Williams’ restless drive to light the creative spark.
