Thank you to Aquarium Drunkard for having me on the Transmissions podcast! I had a wonderful interview with Jason P. Woodbury in which we discussed me being a black artist in a mostly white genre, issues with the American Primitive guitar genre, the music I grew up listening to, and other topics! Check out the podcast here.

Pitchfork Review
Washington Post Feature
"Above all, 'Urban Driftwood' is her challenge to widespread preconceptions about the music made by young Black people or acoustic guitarists. It’s Williams’s achievement that she makes that challenge sound so calming and beautiful." -John Lingan, The Washington Post
