Rob Williams Band
A natural storyteller who crafts melodies and narratives with intelligence and ease, singer-songwriter Rob Williams is known for his compelling, character-driven songs. With the release of his 4th solo album Weathering the Storm, Vol. 1, Williams shares his most moving and intimate work yet. Williams honed his talent for making memorable Americana, country, and alt-rock in several bands (Contocook Line, Joe Buck, Jr.) before releasing his first solo albums A Place in the Sun, Southern FM, and An Hour Before Daylight. His early releases demonstrate his signature knack for writing succinct and gripping narratives as well as expansive, nuanced roots rock.
In Weathering the Storm, Williams introduces new elements of raw electric guitar and textured vocal effects to the driving acoustic rhythms and warm horn harmonies. While the title may conjure images of recent pandemic or the general chaos of life in 2020, the album’s root inspiration is Williams’ experience with depression. The opening track, “Nameless,” is a lively song about eschewing fame for personal freedom-- a perfect starting point for an album that offers charm, approachability, and a refreshing amount of candor about difficult topics. Produced by John Moran, the album includes a mix of upbeat alt-country anthems and moving acoustic Americana ballads, each featuring Williams’ characteristic raspy-smooth voice and his sharp, elegant lyrical style. The result is an album of balance and beauty.
