Glenn Smith of Glenn Smith Presents said of Chris....."what a pleasure it was to work with the Chris Watson Band.   This young man is a guitar virtuoso, a great singer and entertainer, and an all around really nice guy.  In addition, he surrounds himself with other "A+"  musicians and presto, you have a monster sound every bit as good as many national touring performers."
