Possessed By Paul James/Coleman Williams

After 20 plus years working within the realms of special education & advocacy work, Konrad Wert known as the band Possessed by Paul James, continues the balance with yet another upcoming album while in the classroom. Continuing to raise a family in Texas & working a 50 hr work week within public education, Wert has still been able to release 5 full length albums, two of which topped Bluegrass Billboard charts in 2013 & 2020. Possessed by Paul James’s upcoming 6th album, titled Fighting For Our Own Survival, set to release "sooner than later" highlights life’s passage with such tracks as See You On Sunday; recorded live here with WAF in Laramie, Wyoming & accompanied by Joe Macheret on fiddle. As the fourth generation of the Williams family dynasty – preceded by Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr., and Hank III – COLEMAN WILLIAMS is an independent musician with a very specific dream. To love and show pride of where he comes from without doing it just because he could. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee COLEMAN WILLIAMS strives to have everyone come out and get a little strange at his shows. Not as a gimmick, but because this world, if anything, is the same. He sings about his dog, things lost in life, and the others we gain because of it. Touring over the years, while fronting IV And The Strange Band, there were months at home where he began to experiment with somber song ideas and lighthearted stories, occasionally venturing alone onto the stage as well. To travel and learn, performing a bit more intimately with a different sound but still very much his own. His first recorded material arrived in the form of IV And The Strange Band’s album Southern Circus, released in 2022 on Megaforce Records, which was followed by the 2023-released Hang Dog LP which was produced by Shooter Jennings.
