Yasmin Williams does not look like your typical guitarist. It’s not just that we still think of guitarists as white and male, it’s that Yasmin approaches the instrument from a different direction - literally. She plays the instrument mostly on her lap, attacking the strings with both hands from above. Add the thumb piano and the tap shoes and you have a musician who you just have to see to believe. On Thursday, Jan .28, Yasmin Williams and fellow guitar wizard Kaki King join us for a New Sounds Live concert stream from Brookfield Place. The stream is free; registration is required.
