The Williams Brothers will be in concert at MeadowView on Saturday, July 28th.

Their hits include "Coolin' Water," "Jesus Will Fix It," "At The Cross I'm Just A Nobody," and "Sweep Around Your Own Front Door." Their song "This Is Your Night" reached Number 4 on Billboard's Gospel Chart. Their recording of "In This Place" reached Number One on the Billboard charts, which was also nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Soul Gospel Album (Traditional) category.
