BROOKS WILLIAMS, AARON CATLOW AND JON SHORTGREENS AND BLUES In Concert
“They represent live music at its best!” AmericanaUK
“Best live act 2023!” RnR
A year on from their debut tour, Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow are back on the road,
this time with double bassist Jon Short, presenting a collection of groove-laden songs
called Greens And Blues, which include some Williams/Catlow collaborations as well as
songs by Gillian Welch, Shirley Collins, Molly Tuttle, Rab Noakes and Sierra Ferrell,
among others.
Their music has an spontaneity that reflects the deep musicality these three musicians
possess. It not only tugs at the heart-strings but also gets you up on your feet. Throughout
it all, the interplay between Williams’ guitar, Catlow’s fiddle and Short’s double-bass is out-
of-this-world. At times folky and old-timey. Sometimes bluesy. Then taking a jazzy turn
before going full-on grit-and-swagger Americana.
With three albums under their belt, Ghost Owl in 2021 (nominated “Instrumental Album Of
The Year” by Fatea) and Ready For The Times in 2022 (“a cracker,” says Living
Tradition), and Greens And Blues in 2024, Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow are moving
deeper into their sound with the addition of Jon Short.
Aaron Catlow is half of the Bristol-based duo Hawes And Catlow and he is also the fiddler
in UK festival favourite Sheelanagig. Catlow's other credits including playing with Grammy
Award-nominated Yola, Mad Dog Mcrea and Afro Celt Sound System.
Jon Short is a veteran of the UK music scene and is the bass player in both The John
Martyn Project and Sheelanagig.
Cambridge UK-based, Georgia US-born, Brooks Williams has a long-standing solo career
in both North America and the UK, as well as recording and performing with a host of
musicians. He is named one of WUMB-FM Boston's Top 100 All-Time Artists and is listed
in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists.
