HOLLY WILLIAMS TRIO - TOUR 2014 - GLEE CLUB NOTTINGHAM
Holly Williams makes a striking individual statement with ‘The Highway’ album. She plays Glee Club Nottingham on Sunday 29th June, on one of only three live UK dates.
Hailing from one of the most famous lineages in American music would surely create challenges for most artists to create their own identity, but not for singer-songwriter Holly Williams. The granddaughter/daughter of Hank Williams, Sr. & Hank Williams, Jr. respectfully, makes her independence evident on her third studio album – The Highway – released on her own imprint, Georgiana Records.
Raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Williams embraced music by playing songs on the guitar and writing songs as a teenager. Soon after, she started booking herself in nightclubs and hit the road driving her mother’s suburban across the country. In 2004, her debut album, The Ones We Never Knew, was released and she soon expanded her touring around the world opening for Keith Urban, John Hiatt, and John Prine.
A near-fatal car accident two years later left the emerging songstress unsure if she would be able to play the guitar, but she overcame her injuries and began playing and writing songs. In 2009 she released her follow up album, Here With Me. People Magazine declared the album, “One of the Top 10 albums of the year”, and Billboard said it was “...one of the best singer/songwriter albums to come out of Nashville”.
Her third album The Highway will be showcased in the live show which takes place at Glee Club Nottingham on Sunday 29th June. Tickets are priced at £13, and are available from www.glee.co.uk/nottingham
