Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective are Jamie Williams on vocals & rhythm guitar; Dave 'The Hat' Milligan on lead guitar; Jake 'The Dude' Milligan on Bass & James Bacon on drums. They exist on an imaginary tightrope stretching between Tom Petty & The Rolling Stones. Settled into the current super-tight line-up after many years and hundreds of shows the band is now on fire, playing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana at festivals, venues, clubs & pubs including a couple of rapturous nights at London's legendary 100 Club, their ethos is always to have fun and make sure the crowd does too. This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes.
They’ve shared line-ups with likes of Wilko Johnson, The Blockheads, The Darkness, The Pretty Things, Los Pacaminos, The Quireboys, Dr Feelgood, the Yardbirds, Eddi Reeder & the Animals to name a few.
Jamie is a prolific writer of accessible songs that people love; songs good enough to hold their own in a solo acoustic setting, which really light up when the band add their own brand of energy & musicianship to the arrangements.
