At the crossroads of blues and American roots music you’ll find Brooks Williams. Born in Statesboro, Georgia (the town made famous by the classic song Statesboro Blues), he did his apprenticeship in the small bars and coffeehouses of New York and Boston.

The result of those early years is an unflagging career that goes from strength to strength. He performs hundreds of solo and band shows throughout Europe and North America each year and regularly collaborates with an impressive list of fellow musicians, such as Paul Jones, Hans Theessink, Guy Davis, Sally Barker and Rab Noakes.

Ranked in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, he’s a mean finger-picker and a stunning slide guitarist. He was also nominated for Best Male Vocalist by Spiral Earth, one of the UK's most respected roots music publications.

Brook's original songs are typically sophisticated musically, and yet sound immediately familiar – a sign of a skilled songwriter. His latest album, Lucky Star (his 28th solo recording!) is already turning heads and making itself known on playlists throughout the world.
