About Reverend Nolan Williams, Jr.

Even a cursory look at the career of Reverend Nolan Williams, Jr. reveals the story of a young man gifted with extraordinary talent. He is a celebrated songwriter, musician, musicologist and theologian who has appeared in a wide range of venues throughout the United States, as well as overseas in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Taiwan, and Denmark.
