When Joe Bonamassa recently sent a shoutout to young blues singer-songwriter Jesse Williams, it was a signal that she must be doing things right. Up till now she’s released songs including Off the Vine, See It Through and These Days on an independent basis – but with Bonamassa’s vocal support, have any major labels become interested?
“If they have, they’ve kept it to themselves!” says Dahlonega, Georgia resident Williams. She continues: “My instincts lean towards remaining independent. If a grassroots label reached out to me and we hit it off, I’d be interested. I’d want my music in the hands of someone I’d break bread with.”
