Christopher Williams

Hailing from Nashville, but nothing like your typical Nashville songwriter, Christopher Williams is a songwriter, storyteller, and entertainer - offering songs that are honest and confessional, yet never over bearing; and performances that engage audiences with an appealing mix of intense passion and humor. With “lush guitar work, and sweet soaring vocals,” (Boston Phoenix) punctuated by the percussive vulnerability of a single African djembe hand drum and that strong baritone voice, Williams continues to be a “hard-touring singer-songwriter and a master at spreading his personal energy out into a live audience.” (Madison Isthmus) Touring nonstop nationally for the last twenty-five years at a pace of more than 110 shows a year, Williams is a performer that regardless of the setting, creates an intimate feel, comfortable on stage in front of thousands, as well as in a small living room concert. With the release of his new full length studio album, We Will Remember, Williams wrote twelve songs to accompany Jaco Hamman’s book entitled 'The Millennial Narrative,’ inspired by the Old Testament book of Joel. Williams captured the heart of Joel writing about themes of loss and lament and community... a beautiful followup to his 11th album GATHER, which highlighted songs that speak directly into the chaotic times we find ourselves in, the need to slow down, remember the value of face to face conversation and once again, the importance of community in pushing back on fear.
