Mike Williams the Producer of the BF Deal Sampler Vol 1 and without whom the project would have never happened is a charismatic entertainer with a baritone/bass voice that rings in your ears like a church bell. He has been a fixture at the Kerrville Folk Festival since the earliest of days. On one internet music site his promo info reads, "A veteran of 200 clubs and 500 college concerts, Mike sings with a power that whisks you away to places of delight. His original songs look you right in the eye. They remind you of your first dance, tales your grandmother spun, loves you've won and lost. Mike's warm baritone voice is an arm around your shoulder, coaxing you to smile. That honest voice has seen the world. You can't fake a voice like that. There's heart in every note. Mike's lyrics and melodies rise above rich chords on his double-wide twelve-string guitar. His songs cut to the chase on the very first lines: Then, just when you peg him as a romantic, he nails you with a rollicking dartboard of puns: This man knows road rhythms, sky colors, and heart secrets. He's an overgrown boy who's equally at home pounding across deserts on a motorcycle or counting moonbeams with a sweetheart. When you hear Mike sing, you discover treasures in yourself that he's known about all along. You can feel him winking at you: That's right, pardner. That's right." Mike now resides in New York City with his Lovely Wife
