One of the strongest guitarists in contemporary folk, South Carolina
native Jack Williams writes music born at the meeting ground of the
traditional and the contemporary. Finely honed over his four-decades-
long professional career, Jack's original Southern-American songwriting
draws deeply from the eclectic well of our musical heritage, with hints of
Stephen Foster, Jimmie Rodgers, and Hoagy Carmichael.
His fusion of
strikingly original poetry, fluid guitar fingerpicking, weathered tenor voice,
and arresting stage presence is loaded with influences from a long and
successful career in jazz, classical, rock, blues, country, and folk -- but
none resonates more strongly than his own deep sense of soul. Jack
recently released two albums, Walkin' Dreams and Live & In
Good Company (Wind River).
