TULSA, Okla. - Northeastern
Oklahoma may be best known
for its red dirt music, but the
blues is also a popular genre
across the area. One of the
most beloved regional blues
performers is Wanda Watson.
With her powerful vocals and
talented backing band Watson
never disappoints.
4-5), and the Strawberry Festival
(May 11) in Stillwell, Okla., along
with another appearance at the
The Deck in Cookson on May 26.
Wanda Watson combines
pure musical talent with
showmanship and enthusiasm.
From blues classics to powerful
original compositions Watson
makes every song her own by
bringing touches of other genres
like rock, country, and jazz into
the musical mix. The result is
accessible and fun blend that
anyone with ears will appreciate.
And yet no blues purist would
ever criticize her approach.
Clearly she knows the blues
genre inside and out. She’s
keeping it real. Find her on social
media or via wandawatsonband.
com.
On March 31, look for Wanda
and company to join in at the
VFW Post 577 benefit fundraiser.
This VFW Post has long been a
truly popular music venue near
downtown Tulsa. Unfortunately,
they suffered an instance of
burglary and vandalism at the
end of 2017. They’re still trying
to recover from that crime and
Watson is among the numerous
musicians who are pitching in to
help.
Later in the spring, on both
April 21 & 28, Wanda Watson
and friends play The Deck, in
Cookson, Okla. on Lake Tenkiller.
These special acoustic shows will
also feature other notable area
musicians such as Paul Benjaman
and Gary Hutchinson.
In May, Watson has full of gigs
beginning with the Steel Horse
Rally in Fort Smith, Ark. (May
