Around NY: Williams Honor At MSG

By Debra L. Rothenberg

originally published: 05/10/2018

(NEW YORK, NY) -- On Wednesday, May 9th, Williams Honor - a band born out of the Jersey Shore and Nashville - got the opportunity to open for Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden.  Photographer Debra L. Rothenberg was on hand to capture the night.

Led by Reagan Richards and Gordon Brown, Williams Honor splits time during the year between Nashville and New Jersey.  The band has had radio hits with "No Umbrella" and "Send It To Me" (which recently won Best Music Video in the 2018 Asbury Park Music and Film Festival) and has become a fan favorite of both music scenes.  By combining country music flavor with Jersey Shore rock and roll, Williams Honor has bridged two worlds and created something unique that is building a solid fanbase.

Here are some photos from the evening.

New Jersey Stage has been a fan of the band since the beginning.  For more on Williams Honor visit williamshonor.com or check out some of the features we've done on them
