Beth remembers walking excitedly to the front of the Baptist church in San Antonio, TX at age 10, along with her 11 yr. old brother Steve.  She clearly recalls the Pastors deep, warm voice asking her if she wanted to accept Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, and his large hands holding hers as she nodded her head and said yes to Jesus.  Although her life has had many ups and downs since that time, God's call is irrevocable, and she has always found herself back in the presence of His merciful grace.  

Born on Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, the nomadic life of the military led Beth's family to Pakistan, the Philippines, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Okinawa twice, all before she turned seventeen.  Between tours of duty, the family flew back to the USA, and drove from California to Georgia to visit relatives. During these hot, dusty drives, Beth recalls her dad singing to help pass the time. She believes it was the comforting sound of her fathers resonating voice, and her mothers gift for playing piano that instilled her love of music early on. 

While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan at the age of 13, Beth happened upon a lone GI sitting on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field, singing and playing a guitar. Her destiny was sealed as she ran home to tell her parents she wanted to sing and play guitar. Her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX later that same year when they were relocated to Okinawa.

While living with her family on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa at age 15, Beth won 1st place and $75.00 at the Kubasaki High School Talent Show after performing My Lord's Song, an original composition. Moving to San Antonio, TX at the beginning of her senior year of high school, she began her musical career immediately upon graduating, leading worship for a number of groups, and was often invited to sing at many of the local churches. 

Enlarging her Musical Rainbow, Williams then began delighting Texas audiences, touring Central Texas, military bases and overseas.  After some years of struggle, Beth Williams' musical endeavors seemed to be paying off.  She began to make her mark in the commercial field, as she charted 3 of the songs from her first album, First Class, in BILLBOARD and CASHBOX magazines, was nominated by the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC , as "Best New Female Vocalist of the Year" , "Best Female Performer", by the INDEPENDENT NEWS, and "Best Independent Female Vocalist" by CASHBOX.

Just as her career was heading mainstream she began moving in the opposite direction with her songwriting and musical abilities.  Finding the obligation of touring non-stop to be more than she wanted to deal with and to conflict with her desire to be a "Stay at home" wife and mother, Beth came home to the Hill Country where she could combine her artistry and family life. Over the next 5 years, Williams solidified her place in the Texas music scene, releasing One Empty Chair,  Steady Conversation with the Lord and In This Old House on her own record label, Willow Creek Records.

In 2002, after 30 + years of full-time self employment in the music industry, Beth felt the Lords call to quit the secular music business.  It was at that time that she went into fulltime ministry, released her 5th recording, Yodeling in Heaven and, having come full circle back to her beginnings, Beth was once again sharing her love of Jesus through songs, stories and scriptures.

In July of 2006 Beth's life changed drastically. She flew to Florida to pick up her ailing father, John W. Williams, and brought him to live in Texas at the ranch she shares with her husband, Laird Palmer.  Because John's health was deteriorating so quickly, Beth chose to stay home and become his fulltime caregiver.  For this reason she was unable to continue on with her music and stopped taking calls to sing.  A month after her father arrived, she and her husband were also blessed to be granted custody of their 2 yr. old granddaughter, Mozelle.  Beth had suddenly been called into a season of being the fulltime caretaker of a baby and a very ill 75 yr. old.   For the next year, during this extremely sad, difficult time of watching her beloved father slowing slipping away, the Lord was faithful to give Beth strength and determination to finish the job He had called her to. 

On Oct. 25th, 2007, Beth's father passed away, his suffering ended and he was made perfect and whole in the presence of his Savior Jesus.  In February of 2008 Beth began easing back into her music ministry where she is once again encouraging others through songs, stories and scriptures.  Williams gives guitar and vocal lessons during the week and assists her husband in his office.  They are blessed to continue raising their granddaughter, Mozelle Elizabeth.
