Well, since there really aren't any "band members", (Guitar - me, Keyboard - me, Vocals - uh, that would be, uh, sorry - me also) I thought I would lay out some important people for you just in case.

WAYNE WATSON is wearing this season of his creative life with the ease of a favorite well-worn leather jacketrelaxed and comfortable. The man whose voice and songs helped define an entire genre of Christian music throughout the 80s and 90s is re-connecting with his music with a new passion seemingly born at the intersection of age and wisdom.
The songwriter known for his remarkable depth and relevancy has just brushed past the milestone marker of half a centurymost of it shared intimately on the trail with God and his music. Much of the journey has been chronicled within the library of songs contained on more than two dozen album projects since his memorable breakthrough album Working In The Final Hour caught the imagination of an entire generation of Christian music listeners and radio with its release in 1980. To say his vocal styling and lyrics of open, honest communication of Gods presence in every day life circumstances helped lay the foundation on which todays contemporary Christian music is built would in no way be an overstatement.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ ... (Ephesians 2:4-5)
Hi Wayne,Thanks for the add.Ive been a fan since the 80's and had the song Somewhere in the world today in my wedding,we are going on 20 years in September,God bless you.
"Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt"
Thx for adding me. You have to know that a fan since your 1st, A Touch of the Master's Hand, when I was but a child of 10, I grew up playing piano, writing songs, and my greatest influence was your music, your style. My kids grew up hearing me sing "Water Coloured Ponies" to them each nite and thought I wrote it for them till recently when it came up in conversation and I had to tell them I changed "little boys" to "little girls" and let them hear the original cassette I had of it. Even my 17 yr old, who has run from God lately, asks me to sing your song to her at night. It's a comfort to her. And what a comfort your ministry has been. I saw you in concert in a church in Phoenix in 1990 and you performed with Paul Smith (who also had great songs) and you were soooo real. You talked about not "feeling God" and I was just breaking free from "religion" and found a minister of God through song, like myself, being honest about his feelings. Thank you for your awesome music and for letting yourself be who God called you to be: the real, the natural, Wayne Watson.
I voted for my favorite song on your other website. It was "For all You've Done". I really do like that song. But then I listened to "When you see Jesus"..I was in tears and a little speechless. My mind instantly went to my dad, it would have been the perfect song to play at his funeral. Then I thought of all my patients that I have had the honor of caring for them at the end of their life. As I listened to the song, I thought "what a beautiful and perfect song to send someone home to the Father to!" When I was with a patient that was going to pass soon, and it was the end of my shift, I would pop into their room to make sure everything was ok, and then before I left I said to them "if you go home to the Father tonight, give Jesus a hug for me". Now I have this song that's like a prayer; it's simple, meaningful, and comforting. You totally rock with your song writing! Elizabeth
Hi Wayne, man it was an honor and a privilege to play with you at The Ridge church in December. Everybody enjoyed the autographed CD's. I've been listening to your music for almost 15 years. Thanks for the opportunity to share the stage with you.
My mom is in the hospital.She is asleep and not responsive.She is in no pain.There is nothing more they can do for her but wait till she goes.I've taken great comfort from mentally playing Home Free.It realy ministers to me at a time like this.
your song 'home free' has been listened to in our family for years. My grandmother died over Thanksgiving and we played that song in her hospital room right after she passed...it was very hard but we were so glad she is finally 'home free' and not suffering anymore.
I read your lyrics for 'When you see Jesus' and I cried when I listened to it. I liked how you put 'home free' in that song as well :)
In college I used to be the music buyer in a small-town Christian store. I was a metal-head back then, but one night I took home a demo CD of "How Time Flies". I guess your long hair on the cover made me think you were a rocker too, so I was willing to give it a try! But something about those songs grabbed my ear, and I've loved your music ever since. My favorite album, "A Beautiful Place", became the backdrop for so many memories of my young adult life. Thanks for sharing your songwriting with us.
God bless you Wayne! Thanks for the add! I love your music and have listened over and over again to gleen all that I can. You are a great inspiration to me and all of God's children. Bless your heart and ministry, always, Sal
I just wanted to say that I am truly thankful for a friends like you during this month of Thanksgiving. You have made an impact on my life. Take care & God Bless.
Thank you for adding me.My sister and I saw you in concert at the First Baptist Church Of Raytown several years ago.After the concert we saw several people talking to you.However since we were both fighting colds we didn't stop to see you. I hope this doesn't give you a swelled head (Christian Artists are supposed to point to Jesus) but you are my favorite male vocalist.I also appreciate the message in your music.Remember Micah 6:8.
Thanks for the add. I have been a fan and follower for years. Neil actually played Djembe with me when I was on a church staff in Fort Worth with a buddy named Doak. I have a worship cd coming out this month (indie) would love for your to hear it. I want to ride harley's with you too. Dean
Your concert was the first one I ever went to. My parents too me and I think I was about 5ish and it was in Broken Arrow, OK. I still have the ticket stub. :-)
hello from san diego. thank you for being our freind. we wanted you to know that you were the soundtrack to our childhood. we grew up with your music and consider you one of our big musical influences. thank you so much for your music. love from the larson sisters
Thanks Wayne for the ad. I first saw you when you were in a concert in Victoria, TX back in '93 I believe it was. I shot some video of your awesome performance. Keep on!
Ok, so I am checking your page and what do I find? Home Free. Yes! I have to say that Home Free is my absolute favorite song of yours. A Beautiful Place runs a very close second, but I love love LOVE the message in Home Free. It is good to know that one day we will indeed be home where we know we belong. I played this alot when my dad passed away (almost a year now) and it was very comforting to me. God sure knew what He was doing when He gave you the gift of writing and singing music! Keep it up! Elizabeth (lizzy beth)

Wow!! Well, hearing the entire lyric now for your song "Even This", all I can say is...this song is a true gift from God to me. It is VERY timely for my family right now, unbelievably so. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you into your listeners' lives. May His hand upon you become ever more evident every day of your life. He inspires hope through you. God bless you.
