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."
