Jack Williams

South Carolina's Jack Williams has spent more than fifty years on the road developing "a musical style that's equal parts folk storytelling and Tin Pan Alley songcraft, delivered with the impassioned soul of an old blues singer." (No Depression)
Avoiding the compromises of the commercial music industry, Jack prefers touring under the radar, playing concerts with a more personal connection to his listeners. In addition to his solo career, as a guitarist he has accompanied such luminaries as Tom Paxton, Peter Yarrow, Mickey Newbury and Harry Nilsson. From acclaimed appearances at the Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, Kerrville, New Bedford SummerFest Folk Festivals, his musicianship, songs, stories and commanding presence have established him as an uncommonly inspiring and influential performer. "....his artistry...is nothing short of amazing. Dazzling picking, expressive voice, unique and interesting songs." Rich Warren, WFMT "Midnight Special," Chicago IL.
Opener Eric-Scott Guthrie is a North Carolina songwriter with a distinctive voice and a unique guitar style that is at times extraordinarily cerebral, at other times raw and purely emotional. He toes a line that few performers manage to walk as he spins his yarns of love, life, loss, and discovery into a beautiful tapestry.
