THE EXCITING WILLIAMS BROTHERS BAND GOT THEIR START BY THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER MR. ROSCOE WILLIAMS SR. AND MRS ESTHER MAUDE WALKER WILLIAMS IN THE LATE 60’S.
THEY STARTED OUT IN GOSPEL MUSIC LIKE THEIR FATHER AND FAMILY.
THE GROUP FROM OLDEST TO YOUNGEST AT THAT TIME CONSISTS OF: ROSCOE WILLIAMS JR. (LEAD VOCALS) EUGENE WILLIAMS (LEAD GUITAR AND BACKGROUND VOCALS) OSBERT WILLIAMS (BASS GUITAR AND BACKGROUND VOCALS) ALEXANDER WILLIAMS ( KEYBOARD AND BACKGROUND VOCALS) AND ANTHONY WILLIAMS (LEAD VOCALS)
ANTHONY WAS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE GROUP AT THAT TIME WHEN ONE DAY WHILE ON THEIR WAY TO PERFORM A GOSPEL SHOW ON MOTHERS DAY OF 1969, THEY HAD A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT WHICH BROUGHT THE FAMILY TO A STAND STILL DUE TO INJURIES AND LEFT ANTHONY PARALYSED TO THIS DAY.
BY THE TIME THE EXCITING WILLIAMS BROTHERS BAND BEGAN HIGH SCHOOL THEY ASKED THEIR FATHER IF THEY COULD PLAY R&B MUSIC.
AT FIRST THEIR FATHER WAS AGAINST IT BUT WHEN THEY BEGAN PLAYING DANCES AND CLUBS, SO MANY PEOPLE BEGAN TO BOOK THEM THAT THEIR FATHER HAD TO INSTALL A BUSINESS PHONE IN THE HOUSE TO KEEP UP WITH THE CALLS.
IN 1975 THE BROTHERS AUDITIONED FOR A BEER COMPANY BASED IN NEW ZEALAND (THE NEW ZEALAND BREWERIES) THE COMPANY CAME TO NEW YORK TO AUDITION AMERICAN BANDS AND THE EXCITING WILLIAMS BROTHERS WON AGAINST 12 OTHER BANDS. THE BROTHERS CAREER SKYROCKETED. THEY TOURED FOR SIX MONTHS IN NEW ZEALAND, RECORDED A RECORD AND DID 3 TELEVISION SHOWS IN NEW ZEALAND AND A SOFT DRINK COMMERCIAL FOR SARSAPARILLA SOFT DRINKS.
WHEN THE BROTHERS CAME BACK TO THE STATES THEIR FATHER AUDITIONED THEM TO THE NEW YORK BOOKING AGENCIES AND THAT BEGAN THE GROUP TOURING IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY BEGAN 3 MONTHS ON THE ROAD AND 2 WEEKS HOME AND THEY DID THIS FOR 8 YEARS. THE EXCITING WILLIAMS BROTHERS BAND HAVE COME TOGETHER TO UNLEASH A NEW DIMENSION OF EDM MUSIC THROUGH ESP. THEY ARE TRUE LEGENDS OF MUSIC AND ONE OF THEIR RECORDINGS TODAY SELL FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND US DOLLARS PER COPY.
THE BROTHERS USE THERE ROOTS IN GOSPEL MUSIC TO DELIVER HARD HITTING JAMS AND GROOVES TO THE LATEST DANCE MUSIC SCENE, “LIVE” AS THEY EMERGE AND ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AS AN EXCITING OPENING ACT FOR MAJOR DJS.
