Jack Williams www.jackwilliamsmusic.com is "rugged Clint Eastwood meets charismatic Sean Conery with a Guitar!" South Carolina born guitarist-singer-songwriter-storyteller is outstanding among a handful of artists who -- in skill, depth and integrity -- stand head and shoulders above the many performers flooding today’s folk circuit. Among acoustic guitarists he is near legendary. Having avoided the compromises of the commercial music industry during his 45+-year professional career, he prefers touring "under the radar," playing concerts, large and small, week in, week out, for the sheer love of music and performing.
Jack is now a sought-after artist on contemporary acoustic - or "folk" - music stages. From his acclaimed appearances at notable Folk Festivals (Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, Kerrville), his musicianship, songs, stories and commanding presence established him as an uncommonly inspiring and influential performer.
Peter Yarrow -- of Peter, Paul and Mary -- called Jack "The best guitar-player I've ever heard."
Jack's career can be described only as eclectic. He played trumpet in a jazz quartet in a beatnik coffeehouse in Seattle in 1959 - reading poetry to the audience during breaks. He learned banjo and mandolin to spice up folk groups in the 60's in Georgia. He played pedal-steel guitar in a country-rock band, and classical guitar/lute in a Renaissance ensemble. Jack Williams’ music sparkles from all these influences – creating a truly all-American southern musical sound.
Beyond the music, there is something very down-to-earth and captivating about this man. He's the real deal. Warning to all husbands ... Jack has been married many times, so watch your wives carefully at this show.
