HARDYWOOD WEST CREEK EVENTS
LIVE MUSIC: Willie Williams
First take some homegrown vocals drenched in Carolina twang and Memphis soul. Then add a healthy dose of blues and bluegrass influenced guitar. Now finish it off with top notch showmanship and storytelling, and you'll begin to get an idea of what Willie Williams is all about. With influences that range from Merle Haggard to Al Green, Willie’s music is as familiar as it is fresh. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter, Willie is currently touring with Great Southern Reunion presented by Dickey Betts, where he shares the guitar duties with the legendary Lee Roy Parnell. When not on the road, Willie is a fixture of the Richmond, VA music scene where his current projects include Solo Acoustic performances and Allman Brothers Tribute band SKYDOG. Willie also plays guitar with Virginia music icon Steve Bassett from time to time.
