Yasmin Williams has shared a new track, ‘Hummingbird’, taken from her upcoming album Acadia. Featuring Tatiana Hargreaves on fiddle and Allison de Groot on banjo, the song arrives on the heels of lead single ‘Virga’. Listen to it below.
“Being thrust into the folk genre has granted me several invitations to play at various folk and bluegrass festivals,” Williams explained. “This style of music is not one that I grew up with and is still relatively new to me; however, I can’t help but be somewhat influenced by the amazing musicianship of all the bluegrass, folk, and old-time musicians I’ve seen in the last few years. Although this wasn’t on my mind consciously when I wrote this tune, I assume these influences entered my subconscious.”
Acadia arrives October 4 on Nonesuch.
