Saturated in the blues and folk traditions of America, 24 year-old Indiana native Evan Watson writes accessible songs that flirt with pop melody lines, but always deliver a heart-felt original execution. With cited influences like the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, The Band, Buddy Guy, and Ben Harper, Evan's live performance is riddled with soul, roots, and a helluva lot of guitar solos. His recently assembled NYC band has already been featured at festivals like Bonnaroo and 10klf. Sharing the guitar responsibilities and also playing keys is Greg Mayo, son of music icon Bob Mayo. Playing bass is young session star Chris Anderson (Ingrid Michaelson). Adding unbridled passion and tempo to the live show is the south-paw British drummer Jonny Cragg (Spacehog, The 22's, Arc Kid). Chiming in with sweet harmonies and, if you're lucky, belting like the love-child of Robert Plant and Bonnie Raitt is Weschester native Rebecca Haviland. All in all, Evan Watson and his band provide a refreshing, rootsy, and overall exciting live experience.
