"Press Statements"

"I think this gal is great!"
Jim Halsey, Music Business Impresario; Mgr., Oak Ridge Boys

"The best of two worlds...the rawness of a natural born blues singer with a colorful past and the polish of a maturing talent...delivers everytime".
Ronnie Bravo, Austin Chronicle

“A great big heart with a voice to match…sings the blues with passion, authority” Linda Suebold, Southwest Times Record

“A deep-down, soul-touching, blues/rock singer (with a) hard-driving style and from-the-gut voice” Terrell Lester, OKmagazine

“Get ready for a professional, high energy, foot stomping, hand clapping, soul shaking night of some of the best music anywhere!” Joey Secora, owner of Joey’s, ‘Tulsa’s Home of the Blues’

“Wanda Watson has got to be the best thing to happen to music since Les Paul ran an electric cable through a hookup in a hollow-body guitar”. Todd Webb, Uptown News

“Wanda Watson is a warrior and a magician. She has traveled that long, lonesome road and gained great wisdom along the way. She has survived the dark night of the soul and come out smiling. She sees the world from the highest mountain, with her feet firmly on the ground. Though she seems to be a maniac, she is legally sane and has the papers to prove it. Her laugh can make trees bloom in a blizzard.” Jim Downing, "Tulsa Entertainment Writer"

In December 2004 & 2006, Wanda was voted "Best Vocalist" by the Blues Society of Tulsa; quite an honor considering the world-class level of talent that town produces.

September 2005, Wanda and her band were voted "Best Blues Act" by Tulsa World’s coveted SPOT Awards(Oklahoma’s version of the Grammy's).

February 2006, she was inducted into the 1st Class of the "Old Town Musician’s Hall of Fame" in Ft. Smith, AR.

February 2006, she was "Payne County Line Hall of Fame – Blues Artist Honoree for her life's accomplishments, and for being an integral part of Oklahoma's rich musical heritage."

Bio

Very rarely will you find an entertainer whose style and charisma matches their talent or vice-versa. Wanda Watson delivers on both counts. Hard charging and aggressive on one song; tender and emotionally sincere on the next, Wanda makes every song her own. Any of her devoted fans will tell you her performances make every audience member feel that she is there for them and them alone.

She is a definitive blues artist. In a city noted for its top-shelf musicians and singers, Wanda stands out as a true stylist. Whether putting her stamp on original songs or belting out time tested standards.
