William Adams Kimbrough is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Nashville, Tennessee. Born in Mobile, Alabama, Kimbrough began his career with the college band Will & the Bushmen in the 1980s and later formed the Bis-Quits, releasing an album on John Prine’s Oh Boy Records. As a producer, he has worked with artists like Adrienne Young, Rodney Crowell, and Todd Snider.

Kimbrough’s songs have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett, Little Feat, and Jack Ingram, among others. Most recently, their co-written song “Bubbles Up” became Buffett’s first posthumous single and a viral hit. They’ve written more than twenty songs over the years, sometimes remotely trading notes and sometimes working together. Kimbrough has also collaborated with Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, and Mark Knopfler. In 2004, he was named Instrumentalist of the Year by the Americana Music Association. Kimbrough co-founded the band Daddy and joined Trigger Hippy in 2012. He also formed Willie Sugarcapps with fellow Southern Alabama singer-songwriters. Kimbrough’s solo albums showcase his eclectic influences, from folk and blues to punk rock and jazz. His album Wings explores themes of family and career, while Americanitis features anti-war and anti-greed songs. His latest work includes a 2023 Blues Music Award-nominated song, “Too Far to Be Gone.”

Old Town New Folk is underwritten by Nick and Lorie Howley, with additional support from Doug and Sherri Montgomery, John and Marilyn Rintamaki, Nell Smets, and Michael Blades and Kathy Kilroy. Series sponsored by Blue Heaven
