ABOUT SHAWN WILLIAMS

New Orleans’ pioneering voice in “alt-rocka countrybilly serial killer blues,” Shawn Williams describes her sound as “like the result of a dirtier-minded Elvis deciding to get it on in the back of some roadhouse saloon with one of those sad-eyed cowboy types that would rather be drinking alone.” Aside from her own music, she is also the founder of the all-female Elvis tribute band, Pelvis Breastlies.
