Brooks Williams to perform at 6 On The Square
OXFORD – On Saturday at 7:30 p.m. 6 On The Square (6OTS) is proud to present, Roots n’ Blues premier guitarist, singer and songwriter, Brooks Williams. For over twenty-three years Brooks, a self-proclaimed “certified road-warrior,” has been wowing audiences from Belfast to Boston, London to Austin, Toronto to Istanbul, with his powerful acoustic and resonator slide guitars. His unique combination of traditional and original music inspired Dirty Linen magazine to call Brooks one of “America’s musical treasures.”
The last time Williams was at 6OTS, he was celebrating the release of his sixteenth CD, The Time I Spend With You, which went to #3 on the FolkDJ charts. His latest release, the stunning 2010 recording, Baby O. (his first CD recorded in the UK), charted at #29 (in 2010) for Album Of The Year, top song of the year for “Frank Delandry,” and top artist of the year. Other Baby O. songs featured are, “Walk You Off My Mind,” and “Grinnin’ In Your Face.” The Time I Spend With You featured three top ten singles, including the Mississippi Fred McDowell standard, “61 Highway”. Brooks Williams, rated one of the “Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists” of all-time, regularly brings audiences to their feet with his high-energy sound of rootsy originals, bluesy classics, and fiery fingerpicking.
Brooks Williams’ accomplishments include having gigged with Taj Mahal, John Hammond, David Bromberg, Maria Muldaur, Chris Smither, Leo Kottke, and Rory Block. He has been praised by the likes of The Boston Globe, Acoustic Guitar, Blues In Britain, and Guitar Player. He has appeared on World Café, The BBC, and All Things Considered, and his recordings are favorites on roots and blues radio programs, as well as XM Satellite Radio. His innovative guitar sound-bytes can be heard in between segments on National Public Radio and on Public Television.
Brooks Williams delivers the deepest and most intense interpretations of everything from early blues songs to his recent original compositions. He’s a musician of staggering depth and breadth, with an easy-going vocal delivery, groove-laden songs, and monstrous guitar chops.
Blues In The Northwest says of Brooks, “Definitely one of the best things I have heard this year.”
Come to 6 On The Square to hear Williams’ foot-stomping grooves and fleet-fingered riffs. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 until the day of the show; $15 the day of the show. Ticket price for Students is always $2; please call to make a student reservation.
