Brooks Williams, from Statesboro, Georgia, USA, now lives in Cambridge. He is a ‘Top 100’ acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter known for his solo shows and many collaborations with other artists.
Ace violinist Aaron Catlow is the founder of festival-favourite band Sheelanagig, currently celebrating 20 years on the road.
Together, Brooks and Aaron, named “best live act” by RnR, create a fiery, fearless sound of Americana, folk and country blues. Their musical chemistry is a spark that sets the stage ablaze with a spontaneous high-energy. There literally is no-one performing today able to create this kind of acoustic music. Their repertoire is genre-busting. There’s the bluegrass-awing of Gillian Welch’s “Red Clay Halo”, complete with aw-shucks whistling; the Celtic-blues of their self-penned “Anniesland”, a song for the late, great Rab Noakes, and their metal-like riff-driven arrangement of Molly Tuttle’s “Dooley’s Farm”.
The duo has three recordings to date. Ghost Owl (2021), which was nominated “Instrumental Album of the Year”; Ready for the Times (2022), which was called a ‘cracker’ by Living Tradition, and Greens and Blues (2024), which was praised by At the Barrier for its ‘cosmic violin’ and ‘delicious guitar’. They plan to release a fourth album, Working in Wood, in 2026.
