   About Leonard Watkins
I am a simple, sloppy and raw blues musician with a low tolerance for bullshit. I dig all kinds of music but early blues from the real bluesmen and women is what really stirs my innards. I feel what I play and play what I feel.

Jimi Hendrix said it well, “Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel”

I am currently playing with Phillp Dabney, a wonderful harp player and very talented musician. We have fun and get groovy

I enjoy performing & entertaining people. I have been extremely fortunate to play some great festivals and events like:

1997 King Biscuit Festival Helena Arkansas
1996 National Slide Guitar Festival Brevard NC
1998 & 1999 Sloss Furnace Birthday Blast B'ham
2007 International Blues Challenge in Memphis

I am very proud of both my sons. One is in the US Army and is now stationed in El Paso, TX and one is a US Marine stationed at Camp Al Asad in Iraq.
