Roy Williams is an independent musician from Scranton PA.
A multi-instrumentalist and singer song writer who moves easily between French Gypsy Jazz to Jug Band hill music stopping by Blues, Rock and Country along the way.
Here's an introduction:

while the styles are vastly varied, the majority of his music originates from the same cozy home studio in Williams’ Scranton apartment. When listening to his most contemporary-sounding work in a project called Heavy Blonde, it can be hard to believe that such a panoramic soundscape—full of heavy guitar tones, echoing vocals and cutting synthesizers—all came from what would be a tiny living room, were it not lived in by a musician.
“There’s so much you can do yourself these days,” he said. “You don’t need to spend all your money on a big expensive studio if you know what you’re doing.”
Williams’s do-it-yourself attitude carries over to the instrumentation as well. Referring to his projects as “groups” is sometimes a misnomer, as Williams often plays all the instruments on the tracks himself.
He can play his ass off too, which is why I noticed him in the 1st place.
Here he is channeling the Beatles
