With nearly 30 years of experience, Junior Watson has melted diverse styles of music to create one all his own. With influences as diverse as Tiny Grimes, Oscar Moore, Bill Jennings, Rene Hall, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Guitar Slim, Earl Hooker and others, Watson has truly created one of the most distinct guitar voices to come along in years. Besides his mastery of blues and swing he often adds his own cartoon-like twist to everything he plays. A founding member of The Mighty Flyers, Watson played with the band for 10 years before leaving to join Canned Heat. After having performed with a host of musicians including Big Mama Thorton, George Smith, Luther Tucker, Charlie Musselwhite, Kim Wilsonand William Clark, today Watson is front and centre with his own band.
