Bio
Born in Southern California, Tim Williams was both a published poet and an emerging coffee house phenomenon by his late teens. Quickly mastering acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, and mandolin, Tim became extremely fluent in the Delta bottleneck and Bluegrass Dobro techniques. When he moved up to Vancouver in 1970, weary of America’s wars and assassinations, he immediately found work as a studio musician playing on gospel, folk and country recordings. Moving on to Calgary, Tim co-founded the popular acoustic blues trio Triple Threat, and co-produced their JUNO nominated CD, The Terra Firma Boogie. Leaving Triple Threat in 1994 with his solo release Riverboat Rendezvous, Tim released several more CDs and has continued to tour Canada and much of the rest of the world, spreading his blend of blues, roots and original music. Tim has appeared with such blues greats as B.B. King, John Hammond, Honeyboy Edwards, Pee Wee Crayton, George ’Harmonica’ Smith, Paul Geremia, James Cotton, Queen Ida, Chubby Carrier, Johnny Young, Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Taj Mahal, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Jesse Fuller, Fred McDowell, Guy Davis, Charlie Musselwhite, Fruteland Jackson and more.
