Tim Williams is a blues-based singer / songwriter / multi - instrumentalist. He is a 40 year veteran of the 'Roots' music scene in North America, roots which stretch back to the coffee-house scene of his native California in the mid 60's. Settling in Canada in 1970, Tim is a studio musician, producer, and a performer in constant demand. He has played Folk / Blues / Jazz festivals and concert halls and clubs from Halifax, to Vancouver Island, to the Yukon. Inspired by the
Hillbilly and Western Swing music he heard as a child,
Tim absorbed late Fifties Rhythm & Blues and Rock
& Roll, Hawaiian and Mexican music, early Sixties
Folk, and Bluegrass like a sponge before
discovering a passion for traditional blues styles which
was fueled by seeing many first generation blues
musicians live during the Blues Boom of the
mid and late Sixties."
