The world of bluegrass opened up for Chris at the age of 13. His dad, Paul Williamson and his friend, Benny Heart, would get together and pick. Chris’s dad bought him an electric bass, then soon after, an upright. Just after high school, he joined the Shoal Creek Band, and then at the age of 20, he joined Randy Kohrs and the Lites. In 2008, Shane Blackwell asked Chris to help start Volume Five, and he played with them for the next 10 years. In 2018, Chris’s wife Brittany gave birth to their daughter Indy, so Chris gave up V5 to spend more time with his family. About a year later, Chad Simpson invited Chris to play with Mountain Bridge band. In July 2019, Backline was in need of a fill in bass player for the Anderson Bluegrass Festival. After the Anderson festival, Backline invited Chris to join them for 2019. Chris resides in Commerce, GA with his wife Brittany and their daughter Indy Jolene.
