Jack Williams Concert at Northwest Square

An afternoon of guitar and vocals featuring folk, rock, jazz, R&B, classical and popular hits from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

The music of Jack Williams, rooted in his native South Carolina, is shaped by a 65-year career of playing folk, rock, jazz, R&B, classical and the popular music of the 30s, 40s and 50s. He is counted among the most dynamic performers on today’s “folk” circuit – “…one of the most enlightened and entertaining performers I’ve ever encountered”, said Dave Humphreys of Two-Way Street Coffeehouse in Downer’s Grove, IL.

Jack is considered a “musician’s musician”, an uncommonly unique guitarist, a writer of vivid songs with a strong sense of place, and a storyteller in an old Southern tradition who further illustrates each tale with his guitar.

“It’s been said already, but I’ll say it again: Jack Williams is a national treasure. When it comes to pulling the worlds of blues, country, rock and roll and jazz together on an acoustic guitar, I’ve never heard his equal.” -Luke Torn, The Washington Post

“Jack is the best guitar-player I’ve ever heard.” - Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary)
