Gear
"Touring can take many forms—whether artists and gear are packed into a van, traveling the world via commercial jet or train, or sleeping on a tour bus (while the gear travels in a packed semi trailer). My Reunion Blues gig bag has withstood all of these realities, protecting my instruments without fail for more than a decade.
The superior protection is a given, but the compactness is what sets Reunion Blues bags apart. So much of my touring involves commercial air travel—a stressful experience for any musician. My AERO-E1 is compact enough to fit virtually every commercial airliner’s overhead storage, yet strong enough to give peace-of-mind when the occasional gate-check is mandated. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and satisfies the demands of this lifestyle like no other bag I’ve found."
Although known for his surrealistic guitar stylism, Brad Allen Williams describes himself as a “professional listener.” He serves music in many capacities including recording artist, guitarist, composer, producer—and in every role centers absorption, openness, and response. An early fascination with improvisation matured into a core musical value that animates collaborations and solo projects alike, making him one of the most unique and in-demand guitarists in the industry. In his work with artists like Brittany Howard, Bilal, and Nate Smith and Kinfolk, Williams grounds outwardly-bold aesthetic choices in encyclopedic knowledge. On his 2023 Colorfield Records release œconomy, he casts himself in productive opposition to his instrument, which he describes as “overleveraged in the last 100 years of popular music.” The mission is at once modest and extremely ambitious: he aspires to reimagine the guitar’s role and function on an atomic level, all while keeping service of music at the center.
