About Me

I started performing in 1964 with The Williams Family. We played Gospel music for five years and then all types until the late 70's. We toured extensively thruout the U.S. and Canada. I have played in several groups since then. Most notably in Beatlemania as George Harrison. My dad Ronald Williams has passed away and my mom Kathryn no longer performs, but I am happy to say that both my brothers and my sister are still playing. They all have myspace sites, so check them out. Steve (Steve Williams) does Gospel music. Rick plays bluegrass festivals in the summer and also writes a lot of awesome, diverse music with his wife Laurie. (check out thier myspace sites..williamsandwilliams, Rick Williams, and thenearlybrothers) My sister, River, has moved to Portland and is persuing her artistic carreer. (River Wylde and Lady Blues) I am currently performing with my band Uncle Smiley in eastern Pa.(Go to www.unclesmiley.com), and on this myspace site you can hear songs of mine on which I perform all vocals and instruments.
