Josh Williams joins Larry Stephenson Band

Josh Williams and Larry Stephenson with their SPBGMA awards

Many in Ireland will have vivid memories of Josh Williams as the lanky young mandolin wizard who toured with the Special Consensus earlier this decade. Josh left the Special C. (not that anyone ever really leaves) a few years ago to play guitar with Rhonda Vincent & the Rage. After leaving Rhonda last October, Josh has been building the career of his own band, and will now also be playing guitar with the Larry Stephenson Band. The above photo shows Josh and Larry at the SPBGMA awards show with their trophies as Guitar Player of the Year (Josh's fourth time) and Contemporary Male Vocalist of the Year (Larry's fifth time).
