The band is named for Williams Road , “an actual country road, off of Route 12 between Sherburne and Waterville. Why this road in particular? Band member Craven says that after a long day’s work, on his journey back from “wherever work was that day,” Williams Road was the ‘last stretch’ before he got home, and the band expresses a similar sentiment – the feeling of ‘coming home.'”
(Earlville, NY – Aug. 2014) Williams Road takes us driving down the Indie lane this Thursday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. as the final concert in this summer’s Hamilton Arts in the Park series.
Indie folk combines the catchy melodies of indie rock with the acoustical sounds of contemporary folk music.
Williams Road capitalizes on the band members’ talent for songwriting, clean licks and clear vocal harmonies to create new inroads into the genre.
“Hamilton-homegrown band Williams Road, created in 2009, will become a part of upstate New York’s storied musical tradition with the release of their first official album, the self-titled “Williams Road.”
“Composed of band members Mike Craven, Scott Krueger, Clare Pellerin and Brad Jewett, Williams Road is, as Krueger says, a “whole greater than the sum of its parts.” The band’s musicians each come from different musical backgrounds, from the classically-trained to the self-taught, but through their common central New York bond, are able to create a solid, distinctive sound that has often been described as a blend of folk, roots, and indie, with a deep and heavy undercurrent of Americana.”
Enjoy an evening of music in the Village Green. Bring a blanket or lawn chair. The event is free.
