Hello there! My name is Jesse Williams. I am a twenty-four year old singer/songwriter/guitarist traveling with my band...The Jesse Williams Band. We could showcase our talents and have a great time at your event. We play a varied mix of genres with a heavy concentration on blues that my soulful voice carries quite nicely. We would be elated to entertain your guests.
Blues and soul singer/songwriter/guitarist, Jesse Williams, is a mountain mama of many different roots grounded in sultry sweet blues infused with warm soul and melody medicine. Hailing from North Georgia with a heart for grooves and the deep belief that it’s best savored when simmered..
The sounds and get-downs are a full course meal of experiences.. from thrills and nuances of long loved inspirations like Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and Aretha Franklin.. to Derek Trucks, the Allman Brothers, and early influences like her family’s band the End of the Trail Band, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix..
Get deep into the message and surrender to the soul serenades of The Jesse Williams Band. An invitation of tender vocal serenades and heartfelt power swells that play and groove with the medicine of the music. Her latest work, "Off the Vine" was released in September 2020 and is comprised of five original songs recorded at InCrowd Recordings in Atlanta, GA.
Outside of her latest EP, Jesse Williams is also featured on other songs and projects. Like the jumping and thrilling tune from InCrowd Recordings she co-wrote on, "When I Come to You."
She is currently working on recording a full-length album of more home-grown originals.. so keep your ears to the ground for another round.
I played solo for many years. In that time, I had a small pa for myself. Now that I have a growing band, we are are in the process of acquiring the pieces. We are still in need of the following items for gigs outside of pre-equipped venues:
At least 2 main 12" or 15" PA speakers and 2 18" subs preferably. 1 sub will work. 3 monitor mixes I would think. 1 for me(vocalist) 1 for guitar and bass and 1 for drummer. Microphones should be SM58s(or better) for vocals, SM57s(or better) for guitar cabs and minimum kick and overhead for drums. DI (direct in box) for bass guitar.
