Chuck Williams has been appearing throughout New England.......his music could be defined as Americana, but not in the Old Glory sense of the word, though it conveys the spirit of an America that existed in days gone by. It has some of the same energies of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, CSN and definitely Neil Young, while not sounding like any of them. There is something here that a lot of people are going to latch on to, especially in these trying times.
This songwriters music is of love gained, love lost, growing up and moving on. He can take you on a journey that makes you think, smile and at times want to cry. His lyrics and melodies are a musical journey reflecting emotions of everyday life.
Chuck won the 2005 Ludlow Folk Festival Songwriter Contest for 'Smart Too Late, Old Too Soon', a song that tracks the life of a solitary man. He received Honorable Mention from the 2006 PeaceDriven Songwriting Awards Chuck was also a finalist in the 2007 Cape Cod & Islands Songwriting Contest with his politically savy ode 'On The Line'.

Barrington, MA, Steve's Backstage Pass, Taunton, MA as well as numerous coffeehouses throughout the Northeast.
