Originally from South Minneapolis, Keyez Williams is an artists, singer, lyricist, and he plays multiple-instruments whom also has produced shows for over 35 years. Part of his unique approach to music is due to his late Mother Gladys Reola Williams (Roberts) was also a band leader, song writer, and choir arranger of the same Church (Butchy Austin's father played Saxophone in), and is primarily the reason Keyez operates musically in such a manner.
The other part was finally after joining two different branches of service, and working for a number of years in the federal government, Keyez realized music is his passion......
“Zhara Dooley is a trombone/saxophonist from St. Paul, MN. She got her start in music playing alto saxophone in the Langston University Marching Pride Band. She is also a producer/composer.”
“Butchy is a south Minneapolis native and self-described “come-back player” who rekindled his love for the trumpet in 2019 after a 12-year hiatus. During his come-back campaign, he was mentored by prominent musicians including Jake Baldwin and Solomon Parham. His knack for soulful melodies originate from his roots playing alongside his father (saxophone) in their black inner-city church. His buttery sound takes after influences like Jon Lampley, Adam Meckler, Dontae Winslow, and Keyon Herrold. He enjoys playing funk, soul, jazz, gospel, and rock with several bands throughout the twin cities. More notably, he co-leads Brass Solidarity, a racial justice activist band playing weekly in George Floyd Square.“
