   About greg williams
This guitarist has been a familiar face in regional venues for years, when not making trips to L.A. and Nashville to showcase and collaborate with other, more established songwriters(many of whom boast major chart hits and Grammy/Oscars on their own). Hes self released a handful of albums filled with material that runs the gamet from quiet, contemplative modern folk to steamy 70s style hard rock and lush, dreamy radio-ready pop. Signed to a licensing/publishing deal with Cherrylane Music Publishing in 2002, he has seen his original tunes used in several indie films and network TV series internationally. Armed with lyrical sensibilities informed by the classic Stratocaster poets(Dylan and Hendrix), and the vocal chops to pull off even demanding love songs that would not seem out of place soaring over the credits of a Disney movie, he remains a monster(if still criminally underexposed) talent. Best Acoustic Artist 2005 and Best Local Songwriter 2006 - Connect Savannah " Listening to Greg Williams latest recording, Caterpillar is not like listening at all. It's like crawling into silky sheets with a down comforter against your head, like riding slowly thru the desert at dusk, like feeling that sensation you get after a plane takes off and you are suspended above the earth on air alone.There's "Love is Everything", which is featured in the independent film "Siblings". Another standout is the ethereal "Milk", a hauntingly beautiful melodic piece that sounds not of this world, as if sung by someone on another planet or from beyond the grave." - Savannah Morning News " ... a performing songwriter to watch..an overnight sensation in the making?" - Performing Songwriter " ... edgy, bluesy, instantly likeable folk - rock. Superb!" - Atlanta Press "... extremely gifted and versaitle performer who writes great classic rock and blues." - Kings of A&R "... Why Greg Williams isn't insanely popular on a national level is one of the many great mysteries of the local Savannah scene. With a slightly-raspy-yet-smooth voice and sincere folk ballads, Williams has a detailed past generously sprinkled with big names. He's performed with acts like John Mayer, Edwin McCain and Shawn Mullins, but we all know he's way better and more deserving than all of them. " - District(the Student Voice of the Savannah College of Art and Design) " Driven by the spectacular voice of Greg Williams, and with songs comparable to REM and the Jayhawks, this band is a must see!" - Good Times " In an age of detached irony, Asia Maya Zen is unafraid to be passionate. It's songs combine the world weariness of the troubadour with the live for today spirit of the garage band. Radio-friendly? Definately, and we mean that in the best way!" - Creative Loafing " Asia Maya Zen is a well concieved album of material, with some of the best blues/country rock you will have heard in a while...From the very first song(Stella), this cd takes us on a journey. Greg and his band offer a superb aural outing." - Heard Magazine "... Greg Williams is, simply put, one of Savannah's musical treasures - an intelligent songwriter with an ear for the passion that makes rock and roll burn." - Creative Loafing "... This powerhouse singer/songwriter has been such a mainstay on the local music scene for years now that it's easy to forget just how good he truly is at writing and performing memorable, poetic rock, blues and contemporary folk songs. One of the few local artists who's able to get away with playing virtually all his own material at bars and restaurants whose patrons are more accustomed to hearing shopworn soft rock warhorses than vibrant, unfamiliar new music, he gets away with it on the shear worth of his material. The combination of his facile fretwork on the guitar and a vocal range and control that's so spot on it's almost eerie have taken him far. He has toured nationally, and released a handful of highly acclaimed indie CDs. Greg recently performed at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Don't let the regularity with which he plays in this area fool you. He'd be a shining star in any town." - Connect
