Josh Williams signs with Roe Entertainment
The Josh Williams Band has signed with booking agency, Roe Entertainment. Roe will now be handling all booking contacts for the band.
Josh tells me he’s happy with the band he’s put together, and he’s looking forward to letting people hear them.
I feel I have put together an excellent band of great players and great people, A musical group that is second to none, with Tim Dishman on bass, Clayton Campbell on fiddle, Jason McKendree on banjo and Chase Johner on Mandolin.
The members of the "JWB" and I are looking forward to working with Jim and all the folks at Roe Entertainment, and are especially excited about getting back out to work with all our good friends out on the Bluegrass circuit. We are honored to have become part of such a great roster as we prepare for the 2009 and 2010 touring season.
The band has been getting a good response so far from the fans. The included picture is from a sold out show at the Station Inn on July 12, 2008.
Josh tells me the band is playing a mixture of contemporary and traditional bluegrass. Josh is certainly the man to do it, as he has a firm grasp on where this music came from, and he’s one of the young musicians who will dictate where it goes.
I suggest you get out and see this fine young band at the first opportunity.
