  Karl S. Williams - Musical Fool

  Karl S. Williams is just another broken man bumbling his way ineptly through life, trying and failing to do no harm in the process. In the sounds of old country blues, gospel and mountain music he hears the echo of that suffering but also something that feels like hope, and this inspires him to keep on writing and playing.

  From acoustic harmony lead ballads to Bowie-esque sonic soundscapes, Australian four piece ‘Epic Folk’ group The Heart Collectors capture the essence of inspiration, honesty of love, and the nature of the cosmos in their music.
  
  From humble beginnings in regional NSW, the last 7 years have seen the band regularly sought out by some of the biggest international music conferences and festivals in the world, including South by South-West, Folk Alliance International, NAMM, Canadian Music Week, and Global Music Match. They have wowed audiences, representing Australia with their tight vocal harmonies, intricately beautiful musicianship, and larger than life stage presence and performance. Following the success of their “Austin To Boston” USA tour in early 2024 with 13 sold out shows, the band’s tour was extended for an additional 6 months following up invitations to perform across Canada and the USA.
  
  The band completed their 9 month headline USA tour with their album The Space Between being named a finalist for Best Album at the International Folk Music Awards 2025, alongside Sierra Ferrell, Kaia Kater, and Aoife O’Donovan.
