Brooks Williams - A Golden Link Concert

Georgia-born and Cambridge, England-based guitarist singer and songwriter Brooks Williams is a leading light on the acoustic roots music scene, with more than 33 recordings and appearances at countless venues and festivals for more than three decades. From Celtic Connections to Cropredy, Glastonbury to Philadelphia, Kerrville to Winnipeg, there are very few stages Brooks Williams hasn’t played. Brooks Williams’ guitar skills are evident as he effortlessly slides in and out of folk, blues, and country. It comes as no surprise he is listed in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists. He wraps that guitar playing around songs with rich narratives about gold prospectors, guitar players, motorcycle riders, golden palominos, and ne’er-do-wells, and sings them with a voice you melt into. His songs are rooted in tradition, wryly observed, and relevant.
