VIRTUOSIC GUITAR & BANJO MEETS BRITISH & AMERICANA ROOTS!
Admired by both listeners and fellow musicians alike, Brooks Williams and Dan Walsh combine talents for an extraordinary collaboration of British and Americana roots music.
SoundBox is excited to bring to Chester this collaboration of two leading lights on their respective instruments. They both bring buckets of charisma and talent to the stage. Add to that poignant songs and lively humour, and the result is a truly remarkable duet. They will simply knock your socks off.

In 2020, they released a video of the Jimmie Davis and Eva Sargent classic, Columbus Stockade Blues. The response was instant and positive. You should do more of this, the predominant reaction. And so they have.
Their repertoire includes their own songs and tunes, as well as classics from The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Norman Blake, Bessie Smith and Nanci Griffith.

Brooks Williams plays guitar with ‘melodic virtuosity’ (IRISH NEWS), effortlessly combining old-time fingerpicking, country flat picking and bluesy backbeats. He’s rated one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists and is ‘quite simply one of the most unassuming, natural performers on the circuit’ (FATEA).

BBC Folk Awards ‘Best Musician’ nominee Dan Walsh plays British, Irish and American folk music. His ‘virtuoso playing’ (MORNING STAR) features a unique and dazzling take on clawhammer-style banjo, helping to challenge all preconceptions about the instrument.
‘Absolutely terrific’ (Mark Radcliffe, BBC RADIO 2).
