Karl S. Williams emerged from the cane country of
Northern New South Wales, steeped in swamp water
and primitive music. His songs are a distillation of life,
love and the human condition; a kind of folk, soul,
blues but not as you know it. With a weaponised voice
that can soar, moan and ache with the best of them,
he writes timeless music, rooted in tradition but also
firmly conversant with the present. Whether solo or
with his incandescent band, a Karl S. Williams show is
frequently referred to as a spiritual experience –
delivered with a visceral conviction that leaves
audiences profoundly moved.
