Imagine: Williams sits with her guitar stretched across her lap, strings turned to the sky. She taps on the fretboard with her left hand as her right hand plucks a kalimba placed on the guitar’s body. Her feet, clad in tap shoes, keep rhythm on a mic’d wooden board. Even with all limbs in play, it’s mind-boggling that the melodic and percussive sounds that emerge are made by just one musician, playing in real time.
“Yasmin Williams puts a fresh spin on finger-style guitar.” – The Washington Post
And about her latest album, Urban Driftwood? “Urban Driftwood is as dizzyingly magnificent as staring up at the night sky on a clear night and seeing the universe unfold before your very eyes.” – Laura Stanley, No Depression
Now, imagine you are at Strawberry, listening to her live. We’re dizzy with delight to welcome Yasmin Williams this spring!
