Chris Watson
Chris Watson has been playing the blues since an early age. Growing up in a musical household, he flocked to the old sounds he heard filling up his childhood home. Stylistically ranging from the traditional Blues to R&B and Southern Rock. After piano lessons as a child and playing the drums as well, he recieved his first guitar at the age of 12 and started to flourish. "I really hit my stride when I got the guitar in my hands", says Watson. He eagerly began recreating the sounds he had engraved in his soul.
Now the Chris Watson Band has become a staple on the DFW music scene playing the high profile theaters such as the House of Blues and the legendary Granada Theater, among several others. The band has spent the last few years traveling around the country playing all types of festivals and theaters and rapidly gaining recognition of a high energy Modern Blues band.
Boasting some high profile gigs, Chris Watson has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with BB King, Buddy Guy, .38 Special, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, The Arc Angels, Collective Soul, Bob Schneider, Train, Doyle Bramhall II, Tab Benoit, Mike Zito, Walter Trout, Lance Lopez, Guitar Shorty, and the list goes on.
Now on hundreds of radio stations across the country, including international syndicated stations reaching over 2 million listeners, across the country, Canada, Australia, and Europe, the Chris Watson Band is developing a following that is rapidly growing as time passes.
In September, 2009 Chris' debut album Just for Show climbed its way to the 28th spot on the Living Blues charts after just 3 short weeks in rotation. Look for this album to continue to climb its way to the top.
