Bio

Terry "Big T" Williams is the real deal in the blues: the first musical director for Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, 2009 Guitar Player of the Year by the West Coast Blues Society, Blues Hall of Fame inductee, owner of his own juke joint in Clarksdale, guest lecturer at the Delta Blues Museum and at Delta State Univ., popular performer at festivals and clubs around the country, and the list goes on.

As important, though, is Big T's humility and warm personality. He's had a true bluesman's life, with lots of ups and downs, joys and heartaches. When his house burned a few years ago, fans gave over $10,000 in one week to help him rebuild. That tells you how beloved he is.

Terry's influences range from traditional Delta blues to all kinds of music, including rock, funk, and soul.
