    Jack Williams has performed a couple of times for Fiddle & Bow. He is an outstanding guitarist, singer and songwriter. Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary called Jack "The best guitar player I've ever heard." And late legendary songwriter Mickey Newbury, with whom Jack worked for several years, said, "Jack and his music are an American treasure." He has released six albums, the latest being "Don't Let Go," a collection of cover songs reflecting the major influences on his musical development. 

    As a guitarist Jack has accompanied Tom Paxton, Peter Yarrow, Mickey Newbury and Harry Nilsson. He has also played trumpet in a jazz quartet, learned banjo and mandolin to spice up folk groups of the 60's in Georgia, played pedal-steel guitar in a country-rock band and classical guitar/lute in a Renaissance ensemble. Vic Heyman wrote in Sing Out! magazine that Jack is "...one of the strongest guitar players in contemporary folk."

    We're starting 2009 off in very fine form with this folk scene legend.
