"American Attitude" was initially named "Government Issue", and formed in March 2007 after Master Sergeant Shawn Watchorn wanted to find a way to bring more entertainment to their bases’ small NCO club. After a short search for other musicians, Shawn found that Technical Sergeant Marc Myers also shared his vision. They were only missing one thing...a lead vocalist. Shawn immediately thought of his friend and fellow Airman, Technical Sergeant Chris Henderson. Shawn had seen Chris perform Karaoke one evening and thought that he would have great potential to lead a band. Shawn was right!
Now that the band was complete, they quickly learned several songs and played their first ever “show” at a friend’s birthday party. After numerous intensive practices and some larger shows, the band was given phenomenal feedback by all (drunks). After just 6 months of playing together, the band had already been featured in several well-respected publications, played some of the most popular live venues, and had already played all across the state!
After American Attitude's orginal bass player resigned from the band in May 2008, the band began to host auditions. After a couple months, American Attitude found Matt Smithers; a Petty Officer First Class with the United States Navy! Matt is a highly experienced bass player who has brought a new and exciting level of energy and motivation to the band. American Attitude is excited to see what they will accomplish with Matt.
The guys remain in HIGH demand and will only grow stronger. All in all, they're just simple men who serve our great country while also serving up the ROCK!
American Attitude currently plays your favorite cover songs of the 70's through today's hits (in our own rockin' way), however we also plan to unleash some original material in the near future. Keep an eye on this page, as it will grow furiously. They will be adding songs, more videos, bios of each band member, more photos, merchandise, etc.
Please also let us know what you'd like to see. We appreciate you for checking out our band and appreciate your support. Leave us a comment and we hope to see you at a show!
