Having formerly been an actor in several theatre productions, Olly Williams identifies first and foremost as a showman, carefully crafting his live performances to leave a powerful and lasting impression on his audiences. “A real sound of Americana! Elvis may not be in the building, but Olly Williams is!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The American Museum, Bath, UK Information Source: eventbrite
