Details:
Born in the Arkansas Ozarks, Allison Williams grew up with music. Allison toured with punk bands throughout the 1990s, before falling in love with oldtime music and clawhammer banjo.

“I had to move 3000 miles away from home, to Portland Oregon, before I discovered the power and joy of oldtime music. I bought a rickety banjo for $50, and never put it down.” In 2004, Allison formed The Forge Mountain Diggers with former Freight Hoppers fiddler David Bass.

For three years the Diggers whipped audiences into a frenzy, with insistent fiddling, powerful vocal harmonies, and a feral energy long missing in the traditional music world. They released a critically acclaimed CD in 2006, and toured internationally, sharing stages with the Grascals, Uncle Earl, Rhonda Vincent, Donna the Buffalo, and many other giants of the new Americana scene.

Allison Williams released a solo album in October 2008, featuring friends from the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Old Crow Medicine Show, and the Wiyos. She will be touring in February 2009 with West Virginia champion fiddler Chance McCoy.

"Allison Williams attacks her banjo clawhammer-style with an intensity rivaling that of any seasoned and steel-toed CBGB''s regular."
- Augusta Metro Spirit
