Jeanette Williams, lead vocalist and bass player, began her singing career in 1989, with a local country band performing at amateur recreations of the Grand Ole Opry.  A 2005 graduate of IBMA Leadership Bluegrass, she has been the recipient of a number of awards including being named the Virginia Folk Music Association’s State Champion Female Vocalist, PICABO Entertainer of the Year (4 times), and PICABO Female Vocalist (4 times).  She has garnered no less than 6 nominations for SPBGMA Female Vocalist of the Year.  A notable highlight for her was being invited to perform with The Dan Tyminski Band on the 2000 IBMA Awards Show.  Jeanette has been featured in both Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now Magazine.  She has recorded more than 10 projects, including the critically acclaimed 1999 Doobie Shea Records release, “Cherry Blossoms In The Springtime”, which spent 9 months on the Bluegrass Unlimited National Survey Album Chart.  She is featured on  “Daughters Of Bluegrass, Back To The Well” which earned the IBMA Award for Recorded Event of the Year in September 2006.  The title track of her forthcoming release “Thank You For Caring” is a duet with country music legend George Jones.  Written by Dixie and Tom T. Hall, the song tells the true story of a little girl Miss Dixie met while gathering items for the relief effort in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.  Although the family had few material possessions, the girl unselfishly donated her own chest of drawers, and tenderly commented, “Thank you for caring.”  A portion of the proceeds from album sales will be donated to the American Red Cross for continuing disaster relief.  The new project will also feature Jeanette’s song “Enough Of You”, winner in the bluegrass division of the 2007 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest.
