About this episode

Bob Nebel interviews singer/songwriter and music professor Alan Williams about his new album and musical influences.

Singer/Songwriter/Musician/Music Professor Alan Williams joins me to talk about the release of his third solo album, “Floating on the Dreamline,” a genre-fluid exploration spanning folk, power-pop, and prog. The UMass Lowell music professor let the songs emerge organically without agenda, embracing his eclectic style after years of self-doubt. Join me as well talk “all-things Billy Joel, Beatles, Sir Elton” + more! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tftc-with-bob-nebel--4703586/support .
