Artichoke Community Music and Collegium Musica present an evening with one of the strongest guitar players in contemporary folk, Jack Williams. The music of Jack Williams, rooted in his native South Carolina, is shaped by a 61-year career of playing folk, rock, jazz, R&B, classical and the popular music of the 30s, 40s and 50s. He is counted among the most dynamic performers on today’s “folk” circuit – “…one of the most enlightened and entertaining performers I’ve ever encountered”, said Dave Humphreys of Two-Way Street Coffeehouse in Downer’s Grove, IL. From acclaimed appearances at the Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, Kerrville, Ontario’s SummerFolk, and New Bedford’s SummerFest folk festivals, his musicianship, songs, stories and energetic performances have established him as an uncommonly inspiring and influential artist. Jack is considered a “musician’s musician”, an uncommonly unique guitarist, a writer of vivid songs with a strong sense of place, and a storyteller in an old Southern tradition who further illustrates each tale with his guitar. Jack will also be offering a master class in the afternoon before his show.  Don't miss this opportunity to learn from and see one of the an American treasure. https://www.jackwilliamsmusic.com
