Doris Williams performs live as a solo artist, and with friends, and also with Viola Rosa as Celtic Rose.
What's created is a rousing and nostalgic journey back to an enchanted age of Chivalry:
Lords and Ladies and Court Jesters.
This Music is an ideal medium, blessed as it is with a fluidity and transcendence
that allows the listeners to
rejoin the distant parts of our historic tapestry.
|
Sean Fullerton, Music Writer & Producer: "Doris' naturalness and ease
in sharing definitely helps others
to be themselves, to open up.
One of the most refreshing things
about her nature is the way she lives out loud, unashamed.
Whenever
I'm tempted to hide my talents under
a blanket, I think of how
she walks out
on stage without props and bares her
soul with a single line of melody.
. .
She's an inspiration. . . Without question, Doris is one of the most gifted artists working today. Whether singing Elizabethan folk tunes or classical arias, playing jazz piano or writing singularly
original songs, this soulful young woman is an unstoppable force of creation."

Ms. Williams has been singing since she was very young. Having
piano lessons from the age of 5, she started taking voice lessons at 14. While still a
teenager she fell in love with early music, listening to the local radio stations.
She graduated from Oakland University in Michigan with a B.M. in Early Music, then
went on to Stanford to get her A.M. degree in Early Music. Since then Doris has
enjoyed the musical scene of the Bay Area, singing with professional choirs,
teaching private piano and voice, and performing as a soloist in churches and other
venues. Doris performs also on tin whistle and recorder,
and accompanies herself on an 8-course lute.
She is currently active singing Celtic, Renaissance and Jazz music with her
friends at various local venues.
Doris also entertains children with her singing puppets and stories, including
Donald Duck in Noah's Ark, Fozzie Bear in the Singing Act Gone Wrong, and Daniel
Tiger. |
