Biography

It’s a rare artist whose music appeals to both discerning roots music fans and mainstream country lovers. Kerrville New Folk finalist Zane Williams is making a name for himself as one of these special singer-songwriters by receiving recognition at the Kerrville, Telluride, and Merlefest festivals as well as making fans among today’s top Nashville A&R executives.

The Abilene, TX native honed his songwriting and performing skills on the road by playing as a coffeehouse artist at over 500 colleges and universities nationwide. His indie release Hurry Home in 2006 resulted in a John Lennon “Song of the Year” award, a publishing deal with americana powerhouse Big Yellow Dog Music, and a soon-to-be-released single on Sony/BMG artist Jason Michael Carroll’s newest album.

Back in Texas after nine years in Nashville, Zane continues to make great music—on his own terms—that will delight roots music and mainstream country fans alike.
