Almost thirty and recently divorced, Randall Williams began re-creating his life by selling virtually everything he owned and moving into a 20 sailboat that he bought for eight hundred dollars. His plan: sail his little floating home single-handedly from Scandinavia to North Africa, despite having practically no previous sailing experience.

Randall Williams explodes onto the scene like a bolt of lightening. Rich Warren, Sing Out! In 2002, I graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Mons, Belgium with a degree in classical vocal performance at the head of my class. But I was already fed up with classical music I couldn t stand the division between performer and audience. And ao I returned to the world of traveling, writing songs in train stations and sleeping on couches, then singing and playing on street corners, cafés, and pubs. For a time I lived aboard a 20 sailboat that I bought for $800, teaching myself how to sail by single-handing through the Baltic and North Seas with my guitar sleeping in the berth beside him at night. I wrote a book about the trip, which begins with the story of almost getting squashed by a tanker before dawn one morning in the North Sea. Absolutely outstanding live performance. Jim Kloss, Whole Wheat Radio In January of 2008, I put out a CD called Praying For Land. It s a well-made thing, all polished and shiny in the right spots. Dave Weber produced it, and did a fantastic job. And I did several discs before that, including One Night in Louisiana, a live CD with a few international songs. More about those on the music page.
