Hogeye Folk Arts presents Jack Williams
Jack Williams makes his first appearance at Hogeye Folk Arts...but only because he gets lost easily and just recently found his way. The South Carolinian guitarist/singer/songwriter/storyteller stands out among a handful of artists who-in skill, depth and integrity-rise head and shoulders among most performers flooding the folk circuit. Among acoustic guitarists, he is near legendary. Having avoided the compromises of the commercial music industry these past 50+ years, Jack tours "under the radar," playing concerts out of the sheer love of the music and the opportunity to share it.
It's an absolute shock when you meet someone this talented who's not universally famous; it happens only now and then. But in folk circles, Jack has become legendary, and the legend is growing steadily. The reason for that is that he's playing, all the time, every night, even if he's at home. His love of playing and performing seems to be unquenchable. And if he's not playing, he's driving to the next place where he will be playing.
Sing Out! Magazine describes Jack as "one of the strongest guitarists in contemporary folk." He continues to tour the U.S. constantly, as he has for the past 50 years, out of the sheer love of music and performing. Now he's coming, and we're proud make Jack Williams available to you. (You're welcome.) October 31 at Lake Street Church. $15.
