Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist and poet, Karl S Williams is performing at The Pavilion next month.
The multi-talented artist’s songs are said to be “a distillation of life, love and the human condition, delivered with powerful conviction that takes your breath away”.
With live performances known to provide a “visceral and spiritual experience”, Karl said he was working on a new album and hoped to be able to mix his new songs in with his classic old delta blues and hillbilly tunes.
“I’ll be bringing my guitar (named Ida Belle), my banjo (named Bettie Mae) and playing some piano songs too,” Karl said of his upcoming Gympie region performance.
“I love to finish with a spiritual song which involves some crowd participation. It’s a nice way to bring everyone together and keep that music alive.
“Last time I played in the Gympie region was late last year when I was on the Festival of Small Halls tour at Rainbow Beach.
“This will be my first time playing in Gympie itself and I am really looking forward to it.”
Also performing on the night are the truly authentic, naturally charismatic, transpacific troubadours, known as Those Folk.
