Brooks Williams hails from Statesboro, Georgia, the town made famous by country-blues legend Blind Willie McTell. Ranked in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, he's a mean finger-picker and a stunning slide guitarist. Plus, "he has a beautiful voice," says AmericanaUK, "that you just melt into." Not one easy to pigeon-hole, he combines roots, jazz, blues and folk. Brooks' music is the love-child of country-blues and soulful Americana.

His massive repertoire (he has released over 25 CDs!) spans classic roots and blues, as well as compelling covers from the likes of Dave Alvin, Buddy Miller and Mose Allison. His own songs are thoroughly alive with clearly-drawn ironic characters, like Frank Delandry and Evil Knievel, and rich in blues pathos.

Brooks Williams has worked stages worldwide for over twenty-five years, touring constantly in the US, UK and Europe. Audiences are often heard asking, how can one guitar and one voice sound like a full band? The San Antonio Light says that Williams is a "fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!". He currently resides in the UK, but is doing a three week tour of the Us in April."

Talent, taste and astonishing technique." - Blues Revue www.brookwilliams.com
