If you want an alternative to today's "bro country" pop sound in country music, you've found it with Texas singer/songwriter Zane Williams. Zane who just won the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards "Entertainer of the Year" will be appearing live in concert at Shooters Thursday, July 23.Williams' current album is named Texas Like That and the singer/songwriter from Abilene, Texas, wrote 10 tracks on his fifth studio album. His newest single "She Is" is featured in a Texas Ford dealers video.

Williams, who is a very charismatic entertainer on stage, is respected by his fans (the Zaniacs) as a down-to-earth family man. Zane tries to stay true to his Texas musical roots while capturing a little bit of Nashville to maintain a delicate balance and create a sound that is refreshing for fans of both music scenes.

Zane has earned a reputation for releasing albums on which every song is worth listening to over and over, and Texas Like That is no exception to that rule.  However, the strongest tunes on the album may be his number one hit "Jayton and Jill," which landed on top of the Texas country music charts, a kind of heart-wrenching song that is sadly missing on mainstream country radio today.

It's these type of songs that his Zaniac fans can relate to. His straight from the heart approach has continued to garner him new fans wherever he plays. Zane is a humble guy from Abilene, Texas, with a genuine smile and a pocketful of songs about real life.

Catch Zane Williams music on Radio Texas Live every Saturday night at 7 p.m. on Kicker 102.5!
