Ward Williams Steel Guitar
Ward hails from Dallas, Texas originally. After spending a decade kicking around the Texas scene and recording on several albums with multiple bands such as Sorta, The Sparrows, The Old 97’s, and Slick 57 to name a few, Ward moved to Nashville in 2008 to give it shot.
Not knowing whether to pursue the artist, singer-songwriter, or sideman musician path, his ability to play steel guitar was what first put food on the table, so he stuck with that. After a year of playing showcases with a myriad of up and coming artists some of whom would eventually become big names (ie. Kasey Musgraves), Ward got his first major touring gig with Randy Houser.
He toured with Randy for 8 years playing every type of venue from juke joints to football stadiums and arenas across North America. While with Randy, Ward toured with Jamey Johnson, Willie Nelson, Gary Allen, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, Justin Moore, Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley and many more. He has appeared on late night and morning tv shows such as Conan, Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Fox and Friends.
Ward’s most recent gig was utility player for the female duo Maddie and Tae. Having been on the road for 10 years, he is thrilled to have the opportunity to entertain while staying in the same place for a bit. His wife and two young boys are elated as well! Ward can’t wait to meet y’all!

Corbyn Syrett Fiddle / Violinist
Corbyn Syrett is a 5th generation descendant of Ruby Syrett, founder of Ruby’s Inn. Corbyn got his first violin at the young age of 6, and quickly fell in love with the instrument. As a classically trained violinist he has spent many years playing Bach, Mozart, and Vivaldi, not your regular country music. While he still can play a mean classical violin piece, he is now an up-and-coming fiddle player blending his classic training with soulful fiddle sound.
Corbyn has been playing with the band for the last 3 years. Now, at 18 years of age, he is still the youngest member of the band. Not only does he play the violin, but he also plays the guitar and spends his time writing original music, recording, and learning new instruments. He is excited to be playing his fiddle along with the Bryce Canyon Wranglers and he is grateful for the opportunity to perform with so many amazing musicians.
