You might not know Holly Williams but you sure know her last name. She is the granddaughter of Hank Williams, Sr., the daughter of Hank Williams, Jr. and half-sister of Hank Williams III.  Not too shabby, right? I enjoyed this show quite a bit, at least the small bit I saw. She’s got the goods.

 SHOOTING NOTES: The Hamilton was quite crowded for this show, probably only the second time I’ve seen that people in the venue.  As such, I crouched down up front for the first two songs and then spent the third song moving around the back of the venue, changing my angle and trying to get a few different shots to choose from. Lights weren’t the best, but good enough.
