Brooks Williams - My Turn Now

BROOKS WILLIAMS - Top Americana, Roots guitarist releases his new album 'My Turn Now' and UK tour dates available in 2016/2017 Brooks Williams stands BROOKS WILLIAMS - Top Americana, Roots guitarist releases his new album 'My Turn Now' and UK tour dates available in 2016/2017 Brooks Williams - 'My Turn Now' Brooks Williams stands on tradition but he doesn’t stand still. His influences fly so fast and furious they blur. Like drinking whiskey from a honey jar, you get both the sweet and the bite. He not only tours like a hellhound’s on his trail, and creates a super-charged music that is electrifying and fighting-fit. Brooks was born in Statesboro, Georgia (the town made famous by country-blues legend Blind Willie McTell), is a great singer. In 2013 he was nominated ‘best male vocalist’ by the UK’s foremost roots-music mavens, Spiral Earth. AmericanaUK says, “he has a beautiful voice that you just melt into.” And he’s one helluva good guitar player, ranked in the “Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists.” The San Antonio Light says that Williams is a “fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!” Brooks Williams writes songs that are a collision of roots and evolution. Rocking. Economical. Ironic. The arrangements are tight, and yet the performances are rich in blues pathos. Words like timeless, astute, archetypal just about cover it. Walking the line between blues and Americana, Brooks Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 23 CDs to his name, fRoots says Williams’ music “Americana at its finest!” CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Brooks Williams Don't take our word for it, here's what some other folks have got to say: “He’s a lovely player, a lovely singer, and a great writer. The real thing.” - Martin Simpson “Absolutely beyond criticism!” - fRoots "Best Male Vocalist Nominee!" - Spiral Earth Awards 2014 “A fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!” - San Antonio Light “One of America's musical treasures.” - Dirty Linen "How soulful a solo guitarist can be when he has talent, taste and astonishing technique." - Blues Revue “Americana at its finest!” - fRoots “We called him back for three encores!” - Blues In Britain “…classy, tasteful, bright, and hugely enjoyable!" - Blues Matters Brooks Williams UK TOUR DATES AVAILABLE 2016 / 2017.

Lauren's debut album 'Sweet Surrender' is a killer, no filler affair with a number of tracks already play listed or on prime spot play on Radio 2 by the likes of Chris Evans, Terry Wogan , Jeremy Vine, Bob Harris and Robert Elms. all of whom know a good tune when they hear one. Lauren sings a soulful blend and Americana and can be compared to the likes of Bonnie , Elkie Brooks and Dusty Springfield.  She is that good Live, her voice is powerful or as subtle as you hear on record, if not more so.  Seeing her perform you really appreciate the fullness and texture of her voice, whilst being hypnotised by her commanding stage presence.  For her Town Hall Live concert she will perform with her band that consists of Thomas Dibb on guitars and keyboards, Chris Hillman on pedal steel and dobro, Mark Lewis on bass and Craig Hanson on drums. Support will be by Skye who is making a welcome return to Kirton.  It is three years since this Leeds University music student last played THL as a 17 year old. Advance tickets are priced at £12.00.  Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com They will be £14.00 on the door and appearing next time at TOWN HALL LIVE  CALLAGHAN on Saturday 19th March Callaghan is back!  Although she will be playing bigger venues on this UK tour she wanted to come back yo play Town Hall Live after the wonderful reception she got when she played last April. Callaghan's voice is unmistakable.  Her eclectic American pop sound stands out like a gem.  She is a truly talented performer and is a favourite of Bob Harris, Jeremy Vine and Alex Lester. The week before her concert she will again play the C2C concert at Excel in London and is due to perform at Bob Harris's Under The Appletree Festival in Silverstone at the end of May. As Bob says 'Callaghan is a wonderful artist, beautiful, warm and hugely talented'.   We know that to be true. Advance Tickets for this concert will be £12.00, and can be obtained from the usual outlets. Following the Callaghan concert it is Town Hall Lives' top concert band of 2015, THE MIGHTY DOONANS.  That is on Friday 8th April.  Tickets are on sale now.
