The website of Williamson Branch notes “… For Williamson Branch, music and family have been melding for three generations. Despite a varied background that incorporates bluegrass, country, gospel and dance, this family band are traditionalists in every sense, carrying on a sound that springs from the very roots those archival styles imply.”
Their single, “Blue Moon Over Texas,” made the No. 1 spot on the RMR Bluegrass Chart for five weeks and garnered the band the award for 2020 Valley Star Family Vocal Group of the Year. They’ve appeared on hundreds of stages over the last six years, including, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Bluegrass First Class in Asheville, N.C, Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival, Brunswick, Maine, the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards and Bill Gaither’s Fall Homecoming.
Williamson Branch’s last two recordings for Pinecastle Records have elicited “rave reviews” while their social media following has grown to nearly 300,000 bolstered by several videos with millions and millions of views.
