Williams, 74, is music royalty in Alabama, as the son of the legendary Hank Williams. He also has ties to Cullman, living there in the mid-1970s during a pivotal moment of his career. Williams retooled his sound and image during those years, leaving his father’s shadow and emerging with the signature record “Hank Williams Jr. and Friends.”

Williams has performed in Alabama many times, showcasing signature songs that include ‘If the South Woulda Won,’’ “That’s How We Do It in Dixie,” “Family Tradition,” “Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound” and “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight.” He has more than 50 albums to his credit, including a 2022 release, “Rich White Honky Blues.”

Most recently, Williams played two shows here in May, at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater and The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach.

Williams also owns property in Troy, where he hunts and fishes. He made waves on social media earlier this year, announcing his marriage to his fourth wife, Brandi, on Sept. 9 at Enon Baptist Church in Banks, Alabama.
