Yasmin Williams

Yasmin Williams releases her original score for ‘Saving Etting Street’, a documentary about a Baltimore carpenter training young Black women to renovate abandoned row houses and build generational wealth. Playing acoustic guitar, 12-string, piano, kora, and synthesizers, Williams brings her latest film composition to life. The ‘Saving Etting Street’ soundtrack is available now via Bandcamp.

Joined by a number of special guests, guitarist extraordinaire Yasmin Williams performs her first Tiny Desk Concert, playing tracks from her latest collaborative album ‘Acadia’ and 2018’s ‘Unwind’.

For her third album, Yasmin Williams hits the collaboration button and pulls in guests on eight of the nine songs–Acadia is a gift of a recording, a rural album of gorgeous tunes with smooth edges that seem only to wish you well.

Featuring several special guests, Yasmin Williams announces her third album, Acadia, due for release in October via Nonesuch Records. Listen to her new single, ‘Virga,’ featuring Darlingside, her first to include lyrics.

Yasmin Williams shares her new single ‘Dawning’, marking a shift in how she approaches her music and expanding the possibilities of what her songs can be. Filled with peaceful journey-like moments, it features Aoife O’Donovan on vocals, Kafari on rhythm bones and Nic Gareiss’ percussive dancing.

Yasmin Williams & Gwenifer Raymond have a string of UK dates together in June. We look back at their unique journey so far. This will be an unmissable tour.

Yasmin Williams is a guitarist that does uniquely her own thing, free from tradition, geography, and time – Urban Driftwood demonstrates the true universality of musical language – she’s a storyteller that makes the audience lean in to listen.

Watch Yasmin Williams, an acoustic fingerstyle/ lap tapping guitarist from northern Virginia performing ‘Urban Driftwood’, the title of her forthcoming new album and also our Tune of the Day.
