About Me

To purchase Just William's album "Blue Goodbye", click here to visit our page on Grassroots Music

"Rosalie" live at the Down By The Riverside concert with Eddie Money in Rochester, MN:

"Just William carries a unique and fresh modern rock meets pop rock sound. Just William essentially defines their sound because I can't exactly place a finger on a comparison."

" You can't box up Just William into a category or genre. If you're looking for a cookie-cutter modern rock band, then keep searching. But if eclecticism and a self-defined sound is more your style, then you shouldn't pass up Blue Goodbye."
