Billy Watson is an entertainer extraordinaire, a magnetic stage personality 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. 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.
A full time musician since the age of 18, Nathan James has created a musical identity with his homemade instruments and self-taught skills, solely specializing in his passion for blues and American roots music. You might catch him armed with his handcrafted washboard guitar and stomping out time on a box made of old fence boards, while singing and blowing the harmonica. When he was 19 Nathan was invited to join the band of internationally known blues veteran James Harman and tour the country, gaining the experience that has shaped most of his own career. In 2007, he took first place at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.
