JR on Stage

JR with fans

J.R. Williams is a songwriter and a storyteller, considered by many as "an underground legend." His roots behind the scenes run deep. J.R. often hides from the spotlight because he spends most of his time looking for a pair of boots that he lost in a river in NY 2 years ago. If you have seen them please let us contact JR through instagram (@thereal.jrwilliams.)
