Lucinda Williams brings her legendary voice and fierce songwriting to Bristol.
With three Grammys and a career spanning over three decades, she’s a defining figure in Americana, blending blues, folk, rock and Southern storytelling like no one else.
From the raw power of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road to the dark brilliance of Good Souls Better Angels, Lucinda Williams has built a catalogue that’s both critically acclaimed and deeply personal. Live, she’s magnetic, gritty, poetic, and unfiltered.

“Little bit of dirt, mixed with tears” is a fairly accurate description of Williams’ voice. It is a thing not of straightforward beauty, but of sorrow, elasticity and dust.
