About John Earl Williams:
John Earl started John Earl’s Boogieman Band back in the 80s which was a regular featured band at The Sand Dollar LV, booked and run by JE’s very capable wife , Shirley.
The Williams were instrumental in fostering blues music in Las Vegas serving on the original Las Vegas Blues Society Board of Directors, which held a very popular blues festival annually at Lee Canyon.
It's hard to find any seasoned Las Vegan who wasn't touched or influenced by John. John's positive energy; love and support for the local music scene was infectious. His generosity to a variety charities, veterans groups and children's organizations helped raise thousands of dollars over the years for those in need. The Williams family touched so many over the years and we hope you'll join on April 6th to show some love to a man, and family whom have loved so many.
