Mom Denea says William would love to play in a band, but there aren’t many other kids in bluegrass in their hometown. So, when Larry Smith approached William about joining Tomorrow’s Bluegrass Stars (TBS), it was a blessing.
“I decided to join TBS when Mr. Larry asked because it gave me a way to be a part of a community of other musicians. The TBS group has been so supportive of my accomplishments, and I look forward to continuing to interact and encouraging other TBS musicians,” said William. Jamming with his peers as a part of TBS allows William to learn new licks, make friends, and get fresh ideas.
“We travel the country to give our kids the opportunity to play with other kids as often as possible,” said Denea.
“Everyone in bluegrass is always so nice and willing to help each other out,” said William. “It’s like a big family.”
In today’s uncertainty, we love to share good news like William recording his first album this year. He dreams of one day playing the Grand Ole Opry and we have no doubt the iconic circle will welcome him with open arms.
