Alan Williams plays the trombone. Sometimes loudly. Over a 20+ year career,  Alan has played in a wide variety of styles with a wide variety of artists ranging from country rockers Drive By Truckers to tap dancer Jason Samuels Smith, reggae artists Groundation to quirky indie-popsters CocoRosie and boogaloo pioneer Joe Bataan. With a sound influenced by past and present masters like Dickie Wells, Lawrence Brown, Gary Valente and Ray Anderson, he's created a passionate sound rooted in tradition. 


Alan currently performs with Funky Latin Orchestra (FLO), Afrolicious,  David James' GPS, Latin Rhythm Boys,  Parlor Tricks, and My Blue Soul while developing his own project--Dub Factory.
