Jesse Williams and her band make their Live Lunch debut on Friday, May 15, at 12 pm. Hailing from north Georgia, singer-songwriter and guitarist Jesse Williams creates music deeply grounded in soulful vocals, earthy lyrics, and grooving blues. With a sparse lineup of only three players, Williams and her rhythm section command every room and stage they play, taking listeners on a cathartic and exciting musical journey.
Williams won the Eddie's Attic 55th Bi-Annual Songwriter Shootout in November 2024, joining a list of winners that includes Jennifer Nettles and Cory Jones, John Mayer and Clay Cook, Tyler Childers, and more. She has also been featured in major music publications, such as Guitar Player, for receiving a shout-out from acclaimed blues musician Joe Bonamassa.
The Jesse Williams Band visits the WKMS studios ahead of a fundraising concert for HollerGirl Music Festival, based out of East Kentucky. "Raisin' Hell For Her" features Swift Silver, Luna & the Mountain Jets, and the Jesse Williams Band at the Green Lantern in Lexington, Kentucky, starting at 8 pm. HollerGirl is a non-profit festival dedicated to amplifying women's voices in music and offering a safe space to heal, grow, and celebrate life.
