Unwind

At an early age, William could be found singing along with Waylon Jennings to start every Dukes of Hazard episode. William was never shy and it was destined the first time he took the stage. From a young age William was trained in guitar and vocals and age 16 he began to write songs and perform. Unlike so many young artists, William stayed true to his roots, never wanting to play anything other than country music. William honed his style of country music by taking influence from many of the all time greats. He grew up on Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Vince Gill, George Strait, Alan Jackson and many more. Today, you can see the influence of today’s stars like Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, and Eric Church in his unique style of country. He has a new, young sound that also stays true to his roots. The energy that William brings to the stage can be felt in every note that he sings. William’s love for country music is obvious when he performs.  He is always interacting with his audience and involving them in his shows. "It’s always a great feeling seeing the crowd dance and sing along with the greatest hits, but when I see them do the same with my originals, there are no words to describe what I feel. I truly have fun doing what I love. Whether I write about love, heartbreak, life or cold beer, I’m always writing. It’s how I handle life…every aspect of it. If there’s a story to be told, I want to tell it!” The beat of his music is palpable and the crowd can’t help but dance! He has just finished his album, "Whirlwind of Emotion," which he wrote and co-produced. It is available online and at every show! William has performed for many events such as The Kenny Chesney Beach Bash at Ford Field, WYCD Downtown Hoedown, Freedom Hill with Gretchen Wilson, and Cell Phones for Soldiers.
