This week we welcome Bob Davidson and Jason D. Williams! Bob Davidson, After following in his father's footsteps and playing alongside him in a band, Bob worked in Kimberling City with Jim Weatherly's Ozark Jamboree at the age of 9. Bob never played many sports and instead chose to follow the musical path. After graduating high school, Bob went to work for Lee Mace at Lee Mace's Ozark Opry in Osage Beach, and then became part of the Ozark Country Jubilee, which came to Branson in 1979. Bob decided to head out and play the road venues after six years in Branson, eventually relocating to Nashville. He did solo gigs and some carpentry work to “pay the bills.” A few years back, Bob got that rambling fever and decided to give Branson one more shot in 2009. Bob returned to Branson in 2010 with a show titled Swingin’ Doors Country Music Show at the Clay Cooper Theatre. In 2011 he joined Down Home Country at Grand Country and performed there for five years. In June 2017, Bob rededicated his life to Christ. “God laid upon my heart to write songs of love, hope, and faith because the ‘Old was gone and the new had come’ (2 Corinthians 5:17),” Bob said. “It all began when I laid it all at the foot of the cross. You see, after many years of playing the honky-tonks and writing Country music, I had found that missing piece of the puzzle. Yes, my Lord and Savior said, ‘Pick up your cross and follow Me,’” Bob stated. Bob continued, “By God’s grace and 10 songs later, hours upon hours in the studio and many sleepless nights writing an entirely new project, God revealed to me His plan for my life: to share the Gospel through a brand new music ministry, which the guys in the studio refer to as ‘Bob Style Gospel’. There’s really no other way to describe it.” With a new album and renewed faith Bob has a new sound and music ministry. To book a performance or get his new album, visit: MusicByBobDavidson.com. You can also follow Bob Davidson Music Ministries on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and SoundCloud. Jason D. Williams has spent a lifetime behind the piano connecting with country and rock 'n' roll greats while creating a persona that's 100 percent original. After decades of being celebrated for his take-no-prisoners approach to performing country and rock 'n' roll penned by others, Williams has added a new element to his artistry, songwriting. The rock 'n' roll history of Memphis looms large in Williams' world. He recorded for RCA and Sun Records in the 1980s and '90s, and returned to the recording fold in 2010 and has continued steady since. At the age of 16, Williams left his tiny hometown of El Dorado, Ark., to perform
with LaBeef who had set up a base of operations in northeast Massachusetts.
Williams, who continues to work with LaBeef on occasion, went solo in the late 1980s and found a steady home at Mallards in the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN when a snowstorm stranded him a few steps from the Peabody door, quickly he attracted a following and the rest, as they say, is history. After several years, he left after signing with RCA, which released his first album, "Tore Up," and he stayed on the road after Sun Records issued "Wild" in 1993. "Don’t Get None Onya’," released in 2004, captured the power of his blend of honky-tonk country and Memphis rock 'n' roll and was the birth of his own label. “Rockin”, “Killer Instincts” and “Recycled” soon followed and the latest album is in progress now. Williams is also no stranger to large motion pictures, movies as we call them. Williams performed all of the hand shots for the movie “Great Balls of Fire” starring a young Dennis Quaid and was also featured in “The War Room” documenting Bill Clinton’s race for the White House. He’s also had numerous television appearances and various shows on MTV, VH1 and CMT. A wild man onstage, Jason accredits influences like Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Mullican, Memphis Slim and Al Jolson, for helping to develop his vast repertoire and seemingly endless energy. “I’ve always welcomed the comparisons; my influences were some of the greatest entertainers ever to be seen.” Jason continues to tour more than 160 shows a year. For more information on Jason visit his website: RockinJasonDWilliams.com; or find him on Facebook. His music can be found on YouTube Music, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer and iHeartRadio.
