About William Hooker
A native of New Britain, Connecticut, Hooker has an extensive and far-reaching career as a musician. He has strong roots and training in jazz, but has collaborated with such musicians as Sonic Youth’s Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore, Alan Licht, and DJ Olive, to name a few.

“Salt”
Hooker is joined by Mark Hennen, Matt Lavelle, and Francois Grillot, with an organ prelude by Ellsworth Grant and visuals by Ed Kasparek.

As critic Paul Friswold praises: "The art of William Hooker is not a terrifying excursion into self-gratification... it is the biggest bang, the birth of something large enough for all of us to live in, breathe in and dream in."
