Junior Watson<\/h1>\n

Michael “Junior” Watson, de bluesgitaarvirtuoos van de westkust, heeft met zijn 40 jaar ervaring een cultstatus verworven.<\/p>\n

Zijn staat van dienst is lang en indrukwekkend. Nadat hij begin jaren 70 zijn carri\u00e8re als gitarist bij The Gary Smith Blues Band was begonnen, richtte hij samen met Rod Piazza The Mighty Flyers op. Hij werkte elf jaar met hen samen. Daarna speelde hij tien jaar bij Canned Heat, om later op tournee te gaan met zanger en mondharmonicaspeler Lynwood Slim. Onderweg heeft hij getoerd en meegewerkt aan opnames met artiesten als Big Mama Thornton, George “Harmonica” Smith, Jimmy Rogers, Charlie Musselwhite en Kim Wilson.<\/x>Junior Watson is gedurende het grootste deel van zijn carri\u00e8re een zeer gewilde “sideman” geweest, maar sinds het begin van het nieuwe millennium is hij voornamelijk soloartiest. Hij heeft zijn eigen unieke gitaargeluid gecre\u00eberd, ge\u00efnspireerd door klassieke bluesmeesters, “west coast swing” en jazz. Vorig jaar verscheen het album “Jumpin\u2019 Wit Junior”, zijn vierde release sinds zijn debuut op Black Top in 1994 met “Long Overdue”. <\/p>\n

Hij heeft Billy T Band achter zich staan, dus dit belooft een behoorlijk indrukwekkende “supersessie” te worden.<\/p>\n
