 William & Ree - America's favorite music and comedy duo Bruce
Williams & Terry Ree, often referred to as "The Indian and the White Guy," have
sustained a career over 30 years packing casinos, clubs, and arenas from Niagara
Falls to Las Vegas with their ever-changing routine that --more times than
not--steers away from the off-color Indian jokes that originally established the
duo.
Williams and Ree met in 1968 at Black Hills State College in Spearfish, SD where
they began playing together in a band where they often filled time between their
songs with their unique brand of humor. After realizing that the humor became a
bigger draw than the music, the comedy team was born.
Polishing their performances at venues such as the world famous Comedy Store in
Los Angeles during the 1970s and testing new material with the likes of Robin
Williams and David Letterman, Williams and Ree discovered their natural ability
to play off one another. They have since shared the stage with acts such as
Garth Brooks , The Oak Ridge Boys, and Tim McGraw in addition to hosting COUNTRY
KITCHEN with Florence Henderson, a show that entertained audiences for over 10
years.
The recent resurgence of comedy shows such as the Blue Collar Comedy, Last Comic
Standing, Whose Line Was It Anyway, and TBS's "Minding The Store" proves that
audiences nationwide are still entertained by comedians who have the innate
ability to find humor in everyday life. By combining pop culture trends into a
fast-paced, lively show, full of zings interspersed with songs, Williams and Ree
prove they have what it takes to get an audience going. This winning combo has
allowed Williams and Ree to entertain thousands, performing over 300 shows every
year.
"The truth of the matter is that we pick on everyone, no matter what their
background," said Ree. "We do songs, we do comedy. Actually, I don't like to
label it comedy. I think we entertain people."
Regardless of the classification, with over three decades of experience,
countless performances, and hundreds of zings Williams and Ree prove that they
have developed a camaraderie on-stage that appeals to all ages and purely
entertains.
