Making their Oktoberfest debut, WILLIAMS HONOR is the Jersey Shore’s first-ever country duo. They have created a unique sound all their own -- "Jersey Country" -- which is what you would get if Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, or Dolly Parton were backed up by The E Street Band or The Rolling Stones, with lots of big harmonies and rock 'n roll energy. Their self-titled debut album spawned two Music Row charting singles, including “No Umbrella,” while “Send It To Me” took home a win for Best Music Video at the Asbury Park Music + Film Festival. Their 2024 sophomore album, “eX,” continues to mix traditional country, along with its modern evolution and their Jersey roots. Williams Honor has toured throughout the USA and Europe, and opened for some of music's biggest stars, including Bon Jovi (at Madison Square Garden), Old Dominion, Lee Brice, LoCash, Trace Adkins, LeAnn Rimes, Jessie James Decker, Natalie Stovall, Eric Paslay, Logan Mize, Tony Jackson, and John Eddie, among many others
