Cole Williams Band

Founded in Brooklyn, NY by recording artist/songwriter/musician/WWOZ show host, Cole Williams. The CW Band is a soul collective intentionally bridging the genre gap of jazz, r&b, soul, and funk music, performing songs that are a voice for the people, and rooted in their message of humanity.
The CW Band’s most recent studio album, “Give Power To The People”, is a collection of songs composed/produced/written by band leader/front-woman, Cole Williams. These profound songs highlight stories of what it means to be unhoused and evolve the definition of organizing to the idea that giving power to people is the pathway to freedom and bedrock for humanity.

The CW Band live performance highlights include The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Joshua Tree Music Festival, French Quarter Festival, Blue Note NYC, BAM Cafe Live, Rockwood Music Hall, The Mint, Martyr’s, Tipitina's World Cafe Live, Prime Example, House Of Blues, and Cervantes.
