JD Graham w/Justin Clyde Williams

JD Graham is an Americana singer/songwriter and Oklahoma native. His songs are confessional, frank and often brutal. At the same time, there’s a poetic quality to the lyrics that conveys some powerful imagery, and the unrelenting darkness in Graham’s songs can be downright cathartic. His 2023 release “A Pound of Rust” propelled him to the national touring circuit, performing in intimate listening rooms, songwriter festivals including appearances at Mile 0 festival, Born & Raised and Circus Mexicus . He finished his highly anticipated new album in December 2023 produced by Neilson Hubbard and Ryan Culwell. “Sergeant of Sorrow” will release on July 12, 2024.

“I knew I would meet my demons in prison and that one of us would die. I just didn’t know which one of us would walk out of there alive.”

Justin Clyde Williams takes listeners on an emotional journey with his songs and stories you can relate to no matter where you call home. Capturing the full spectrum of life, the good times and bad most of his songs you’ll hear serve as a soundtrack to his own experiences with love, death, heartache and that one time he “ate a little bit too much of that gummy bear” Raised on sounds between bluegrass and rock ‘n roll with a variety of influences, when he’s not performing himself, it’s not uncommon to see Clyde playing sideman for one of his buddies or appearing with Tyler Hatley in The Dick and Tammy Show. Justin Clyde Williams always leaves people wanting more with an unwavering experience that is blunt, therapeutic, candid and above all - unforgettable.
