Eagle Eye Williamson

Texas born and raised, Eagle Eye Williamson creates a simple approach to rock by playing drums, electric guitar and singing at the same time. All tracks on all albums have been recorded in one take without ANY overdubs. Williamson, 34, a proud sixth generation Texan, lives in Austin. At the age of 15, a bike accident severed his optic nerve, rendering him unable to see through his right eye. Not long after, Williamson began to notice differences between he and his friends. “I could find a needle in a haystack,” he boasts. “I have a million stories where I’ve spotted objects long before my friends or family.” For 19 years Williamson went by the nickname Eagle Eye. When it came time to choose a name for his one-man-band, Williamson realized a common theme among the names of his favorite blues singers. Many of the blues musicians he admired formed their monikers by combining their nicknames with last names. With this, “Eagle Eye Williamson” came into existence.
