Quotes from Holly Williams
“Southern to me, whether it’s a big family or small family, we love things passed down and things inherited and to feel like we’re kind of continuing the story of our families. If we were lucky enough to have a great family and continuing traditions, then there’s a story to everything.” - Holly Williams
About Biscuits & Jam
Holly Williams
Usually if we buy an old home, I love to learn everything I can about the family that lived here, who loved here, who died here. What are the stories? Even just walking into a random home where I don’t know the people, I just love to imagine what happened here, what time period it was, and were there children here. Just all the questions. I think that old homes keep my creative lights kind of lit up, from a songwriting standpoint, honestly.
