Singer-songwriter Jess Williamson, who was born in Lewisville, Texas, and grew up in the Dallas area, will be back in her hometown as a headliner at Sundown at Granada on June 8, the day before the release of her fifth solo studio album.
She sounded upbeat while dealing with spotty cellphone service on tour in Woodstock, New York, on May 26. Scheduled to play later that night for the first time at Levon Helm Studios, Williamson was pleased about the critical attention and fan praise her fifth solo studio album’s new songs were already getting two weeks before its release.
“I love it and am honored to be associated with country,” she says. “I know I’m bringing my own flavor by using some non-traditional instrumentation, but some of the best ones doing it right now are also pushing those boundaries sonically. Sturgill Simpson and Kacey Musgraves, for example.” In a website bio quote, Williamson says that being alone during lockdown was “a period of stillness and desperation that forced me to turn inward and find comfort in a power greater than myself.”
Cook also plays guitars, keys, bass and drum machine, while contributing background vocals on the album, which includes steel guitar on country-ish ballads like “God in Everything” and “I’d Come to Your Call.”“I love Jenny Lewis; it’s a huge compliment," Williamson says."I love her music. Rilo Kiley, growing up, was one of my favorite bands.”
She began deleting iPhone weather information about her favorite towns back home, thinking, “I need to be in LA and focus on what’s right in front of me.” Williamson, the daughter of Hal and Sarah Williamson, was born on Dec. 11, 1987, in Lewisville, and grew up in nearby Flower Mound before the family settled in Dallas to be closer to her high school, Trinity Christian Academy in Addison. Feeling more like a rebel than an athlete there, she has been in a moving mode ever since, initially leaving town at age 17 to attend the University of Texas at Austin.
