Brad Williams was born and raised in the Arkansas Delta, only 18 miles from Johnny Cash’s home and 39 miles from Elvis Presley’s Graceland. The gumbo-laden farmland formed his appreciation for all types of music including the Sun Studio era, Bluegrass, Gospel and the Blues. Brad has combined all of his influences into a 25-year career in music. Brad’s tunes have been heard in motion pictures (Valley Inn), on television (Sundance’s – Rectify, Tyler Perry’s series – If Loving You Is Wrong, TLC’s Trading Spaces), and on various other advertising spots including Arkansas State Parks and Tourism. The Salty Dogs have been and continue to be Brad’s main project. Over the last 20 years, The Salty Dogs have achieved numerous awards such as the 2003 Arkansas Times Musician’s Showcase Winner for Best Original Band in Arkansas, 2018 Central Arkansas Music Awards for Best Country Artist, and the Country Music Association’s 2021 Vocal Band of the Year.
