Bass Guitar

Conner Williams began playing bass at age thirteen with the group “StormTree Music.” Heavily active in his school band, he became proficient on the tuba and trombone. StormTree Music split up in 2017, prompting Williams to stop playing music for a year.

In the summer of 2019, Conner began playing with the First Baptist Cumming Choir and Orchestra, as well as working as an educator for students on multiple instruments. This set a trend of consistent session gigging for Conner leading to a short lived involvement with the band “The Spades” in 2021. Shortly after the collapse of The Spades, Conner began working with Sterling Barrett to form CHESS.
