Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow create a fiery, fearless sound of Americana, folk and country blues. Their musical chemistry is a spark that sets the stage ablaze with a spontaneous high-energy. There literally is no one performing today creating this kind of acoustic music.Their repertoire is genre busting. Theres the bluegrass-swing of Gillian Welchs Red Clay Halo, complete with aw-shucks whistling. The Celtic-blues of their self-penned Anniesland, a song for the late-great Rab Noakes. Their metal-like riff-driven arrangement of Molly Tuttles Dooleys Farm.And audiences love it! At the Blue Room Sessions in The Netherlands, at Cambridgeshires Ely Folk Festival, at The Atkinson in Southport as well as North Yorkshires Victoria Hall. At Paisleys Arts Centre and St. Davids Hall in Cardiff, audiences cant get enough of the high-energy Williams-Catlow collaboration.The duo have three recordings to date.Ghost Owl, from 2021, was nominated Instrumental Album Of The Year.Ready For The Times, called a cracker byLiving Tradition, followed in 2022.Greens And Bluescame out in 2024 and was praised byAt The Barrierfor its cosmic violin and delicious guitar.In 2026 Brooks and Aaron will release their fourth recording. Tentatively calledWorking In Wood, the duo team up with the amazing Jon Short (John Martin Project) on dog-house bass and features fan-favourites like London Road, Deep River Blues (with full-on Everly Brothers-style harmonies), and a south of the border reading of Emmy Lou Harris Love And Happiness.Aaron Catlow is the founder of festival-favourite Sheelanagig, celebrating 20-years on the road, and has a long-standing duo touring with guitarist Kit Hawes. Other credits including playing with Grammy Award-nominated Yola, Mad Dog Mcrea and Afro Celt Sound System.Brooks Williams, from Statesboro Georgia USA now living in Cambridge UK, is a Top 100 acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter known for his solo shows as well as his collaborations with Vera van Heeringen, Hans Theessink, Sally Barker, Guy Davis and Sloan Wainwright.
Named the Best Live Act by RnR, Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow represent live music at its best, says Americana UK. Their shows are infused with pathos, humour and buckets of talent. Guaranteed to get you out of your seat.
