Tim Williams’ music combines all the best of the superstars of blues like Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Hula Hattie, Flaco Jiminez and Bob Marley.

Tim has been writing and performing solo roots/blues for more than 40 years, since his coffee-house days in California’s 1960s. During his illustrious career, he has played Folk/Blues/Jazz festivals and concert halls and clubs from Halifax, to Vancouver Island, to the Yukon as well as internationally and won some very impressive awards and accolades:
- Several Maple Blues award nominations (Toronto Blues Society)
- 3 Juno nominations
- Betty Mitchell awards for composition/musical direction in theatre
- At least 12 awards from Real Blues magazine (artist, guitarist, producer)
- Guitarist Of The Year for 2012 by the Calgary Blues Music Association
