About Me

It's hard to live in a state that cuts down every tree and turns the country into concrete...it's hard to stay a good ol' boy when every time you turn around there is a new law to satisfy the rich fucks that make america poorer...it's even harder to have a barbeque in a back yard the size of a postage stamp. Williston aims to keep true to their roots, blending roots country, bluegrass, and folk with the aggression of eighties punk rock and just plain old rock n roll. Forget about the brand new houses taking over the trees, forget about the gas prices shooting through the roof, forget about the cost of living forcing the middle class into lower class. Grab a damn whisky and dance yer ass off to Williston, some back porch music to make you realize that the country will always be in yer heart as long as it's in yer ears...Williston doing a little Johnny with Patrick (co Uncle Fuzzy).....Williston
