The Mike Watson Band - Atlanta Society of Entertainers - 2011 Blues Band of the Year

The MWB, collectively, have more than 60 years of performing and recording experience and they see no chance of slowing down anytime soon. Their travels, separately and as a group, have taken them all across the United States, performing concert halls to coffee shops and everything in between. The Mike Watson Band, having many different styles of music between them, have charted a new course of music they like to refer to as rhythm, country, southern rock and blues or rcsb. MWB has been a hit in many venues, performing numerous repeat performances in Athens, Helen,  Lexington, Marietta and Jefferson, Georgia as well as their yearly headline performance at The Chunnenuggee Fair in Union Springs, Alabama. Mike's soulful vocals and blazing guitar work, along with the incredible contributions from bassist Paul Arredondo, and drummer George Calhoon, amazes crowds wherever they play.
