Press
“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
