About this Event
Based in Alexandria, VA, Yasmin Williams is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and film composer. She has an unorthodox, modern style of guitar playing and utilizes various techniques, including alternate tunings, percussive hits, and lap tapping, in her music to great effect. "Yasmin Williams treats her guitar like a playground," says NPR Music, naming her its Breakthrough Artist of 2021, noting the “joy and possibility she brings to the guitar.” Songlines calls her “an original, a genuine trailblazer, one of those rare musicians who challenges your preconceptions about the possible.” Her latest album, Urban Driftwood, was widely acclaimed in several major publications including NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste Magazine, The Fader, The Washington Post, and others. Her third album, Acadia, will be released on October 4th via Nonesuch Records.
