SUMMARY:AMERICAN SONGCATCHER with NICHOLAS EDWARD WILLIAMS
DESCRIPTION:Williams will be speaking about the history of local Appalachian music at the Historic Graham County Courthouse on September 21st at 1:00 PM and later performing on the Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center stage with his band The New Quintet. \nWilliams grew up with a bit of a nomadic lifestyle moving ten times from the east coast to the west coast by the time he was twelve. This has fed right into his current musical career\, “For me\, there is an unrivaled freedom in allowing life to unfold in front of you\, rather than trying to grab life by the horns so you can feel like you’re in control. There are hardships of course on the road\, but nothing that isn’t already a part of the process if you’re a career musician. You just have to adjust accordingly if you want longevity.” \nAnd Williams has already had a long career as a musician – he’s been performing since 2007. After his first six years of performing without what he considered a ‘reasonable break’ he canceled the rest of his tours and took some time to step back and reframe his goals. It was a season of personal growth as he dove into learning fingerpicking techniques and began exploring the different historical styles of American music. Of that time in his life Williams said\, “I’ve become a student again. I’m absolutely fascinated with tracing American music back to its immigrant roots\, and how these styles have woven the fabric of roots music as we know it today.” \nOut of that time and his education Williams grew American Songcatcher into a platform with more than fourteen thousand followers. David Holt says of Nicholas Edward Williams\, “With tasteful guitar arrangements and a voice that draws you right in\, Nicholas’ recording roll along like a mountain stream.”
