Maria Williams is a native of East Tennessee. Family heirlooms such as "Barbara Allen" and "One Morning in May" sung by her mother and the spontaneous tunes that resonated from her father’s arch-top Silvertone guitar mark the beginning of her musical journey. Then came Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, the Carter Family, her mother’s autoharpe, the guitar, festivals, church basements, and high school gyms. She now most often plays the bass and sings, both the Lonetones and The John Myers Band. She and her song "Banked Fire" appear on Lone Mountain Station's debut album.
