Press

“There is copious amounts of talent in tonight’s Homegrown Headliner The Hall Williams Band…It’s a wonder Hall has time to create this amazing music amidst his help writing/producing for Junior Marvin of Bob Marley fame and Fuzzy Samuels from CSNY and Manassas. But alas, we are just that lucky to have this talent right on our own backyard.Tune in to WTMD tonight during the 8 o’clock hour for one of the most innovative artists the Baltimore area has to offer.” Evenings With Kelly Bell on WTMD.
“Williams draws from a wide range of subject matters; from rambler stories about peace and love to drug abuse and heartache. His gift lies in his ability to make every song feel positive. The difficult subjects in Williams’ lyrics are not accompanied by dark and dreary melodies. They are not meant to deepen the depression or drag us down. Their timbre is meant to show us that even dark subjects can be approached in a positive manner. They are designed for us to take in the darkness of the message and transform it into a positive energy force to drive us forward. The music itself combines elements of Funk, Jazz, Rock, Roots, Bluegrass, and experimental improvisation. The best word to describe the Hall Williams Band’s music is “uplifting”in every sense of the word.” Randy Harris – Ragin’ Randy Entertainment is based in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area

“The Hall Williams Band is the latest super group from the Baltimore-DC area that should be added to your listening queue…..Although they characterize themselves as a blend between The Dave Matthews Band, ALO, The John Butler Trio, and The Jerry Garcia Band, their sound is distinctly unique. While there are noticeable elements of inspiration borrowed from other talents, once The Hall Williams band gets grooving, their sound is entirely their own”  Abbie Ginis -DC Music Review

​”Hall Williams inspiration for many of the songs that he writes is his wish to uplift people and make them dance…Hall Williams wish for a peaceful world is evident through his serene music, and is the perfect music to dance to live on a sunny day. We’re glad the band decided to book a tour in 2018 — keep your eye out for many performances in Baltimore and other cities.” Elise Olmstead- Jamwich
