He has performed several times at UW since beginning his professional music career in 2007, entertaining audiences with his authentic cowboy country music.
He is one of only two performers — the other, Chris LeDoux — to compete in both the rodeo and to perform on the main stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Williams is the only singer-songwriter endorsed by CINCH clothing.
Williams was named iHeartRadio’s 2022 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year. He also won Songwriter of the Year for “The Saint” and Album of the Year for his latest record, “3rd Street,” which was produced with country hitmaker Trent Wilmon.
