Artists:Brooks Williams
From WWR
|
Brooks Williams is an extraordinary guitarist and song writer and exceptional human being. His expertise includes a wide variety of style and genre. How fortunate the world is that Brooks has made his passion his life's work. How lucky for the Wheatheads that he was at WWR for a house concert in April of 2006, shortly after the release of his his fifteenth CD, Blues and Ballads
An excerpt from Brooks' website:
"From the very beginning, Brooks Williams' music has showed a strong connection to roots music, mixed in with a swinging improvisational feel reminiscent of jazz, and an almost classical sounding cinematic harmony. He reflects, "I taught myself to play guitar, for the most part, by listening to very diverse music, such as Debussy, the Beatles, Michael Bloomfield, John Renbourn, Jobim, Bach, Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, Pat Metheny, Phil Keaggy, and Joseph Spence. Very different players and composers, but somehow, to my ears, they all come together. From Day One that’s what I have tried to emulate in my compositions and arrangements.".

I met Brooks in a parking lot in Winfield, Kansas at the Walnut Valley Festival in 2002. Having just heard him play, I approached him and thanked him for coming. His response was to give me a hug and thank ME, telling me that it really made him feel good to hear that. We talked for awhile. He is, just as Jimbob says, very personable. He returned in 2005 to play at the The Old Settlers Inn. in Moundridge, Kansas. LuAnna 20:57, April 10, 2006 (AKDT)
I was blown away by Brooks live. Just blown away. Highly recommended if you have a chance to see him. And he's a very nice and approachable guy. Jimbob 23:39, November 26, 2006 (AKST)
I'm going to see Brooks Williams and Jack Williams live tonight. I've seen Jack twice, but never Brooks. Sounds like it should be quite a show. Used2Bjollyjim May 10, 2008
