Info
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.
“Evan Watson (NYC via IN–Richly-voiced—yes, you expect a much older, grisly entertainer, say even Joe Cocker or an echo of Eddie Vedder–with not-soon-forgotten hooks and choruses for some of the best, blusey love songs out there. He can hold his own with just a guitar, but has a wonderful backup band)”
---Refrain Magazine---
"Evan Watson sounds like John Mayer and Dave Mathews rolled into a blues burrito. Mostly known for his live performances, the New York based muscician should provide a laid back treat for fans of jam and blues."
---John Conger Deli Nashville---
