          El Dorado, Arkansas native and son of Hank & Marie Williams, Jason began playing piano at the age of three.  After many youthful years of playing, without any formal training, Jason headed down the road of success at 18.

          From Memphis to New York and Boston, Jason has traveled the entire country and most of the world.  Jason’s talent has been admired by the greatest piano players in the music business.  Elton John, Billy Joel and Jerry lee have all been awestruck by his raw energy and incredible talent.

          Jason plays more than 200 dates a year for more than 100,000 enthusiastic listeners.  In his spare time Jason enjoys nature and is an avid birder.  He can often be found exploring his more than 100 acre farm located in Arkansas.

          Jason’s talent is truly one of a kind.  His style goes from Boogie Woogie Rock & Roll to the most difficult Classical Contralto.  Whatever the age, Jason’s ability to entertain is a crowd pleaser.

 

 

Enthusiastic, Reckless, Stormy, Rock & roll in its natural state…

          This explains why the Kansas City Star Pronounced Jason D. Williams as “the past and future of rock & roll.”  The Beacon Journal dubbed him as “The world’s greatest piano player.”  Most importantly this reminds you of why you got into rock & roll in the first place, to get a little wild.

          After seeing a live show there will be no doubt why fans and critics alike agree with that summation of the dynamic piano player from Memphis.  Jason D. has the same musical innovation and on the edge attitude as Jerry Lee and Elvis.

          Jason’s style is difficult to describe.  From Classical to Rockabilly to Country to Jazz and on the Rock & Roll, Jason D. adapts to each different concert setting he performs.

          Television cameras love Jason’s energy and style.  He has appeared on such shows as MTV’s News at Night, MTV The Week in Rock, Pat Sajak Show, LIVE! On ABC, Regis and Kathie Lee Show, VH1, VH1’s This is Country, Crook & chase, Nashville Now, Music City Tonight, Entertainment Tonight, that’s just to name a few.
