Influences
"Billy Watson never ever let no-one down!!! His harmonica stylings and musical ideas, combined with his level of superior showmanship makes Billy one of the finest entertainers I have ever heard and seen!!! ...Can I get a witness?!?!!!! Straight-Up!!!"
- DAVE GONZALES/The Paladins.
"Billy Watson makes me smile and laugh out loud! He's a consummate harmonica player with fine tone who doesn't stare down at the audience like a smug mother f@*$!.., saying yeah I'm cool. He's having fun with something he digs and invites the listener and watcher to come on with him. Three cheers!!! Let's dance!!"
- JAMES HARMAN.
"Billy Watson plays magnificent blues harmonica and still has a sense of humor."
- LEE OSKAR
Billy Watson and the International Silver String Submarine Band is an improvisational, all-star cast of musicians, hand-picked from the California music scene. Since each member also works with their own bands, the "Cast" has been known to change often, adding mysterious excitement and spontaneity to every performance, while NEVER losing the highest of musical standards and professionalism.
Billy is an entertainer extraordinaire, capable of throwing down a blues show that can be infectiously hilarious and convincingly nasty. His energy as a frontman is relentless, his vocals inspiring, and his harp work musically outstanding. Billy's repertoire ranges from creepy grooves, grinding shuffles, to fast boogies and swings. Yet audiences do not flock to his shows simply for his mastery of the harmonica... they are drawn by his magnetic stage personality and the idea of never knowing what antic may be next!
Blues music was created by people looking for a way to forget their "blues" by telling their stories through song. Billy's show reminds modern audiences that blues music can be lowdown, but that in the end it's all about having some fun, dancing, and forgetting about your worries.
