Don Watson: News

Hey where's the snow. I love backcountry skiing so I'm waiting for our first good storm. I have most the acoustic guitar tracks recorded for the Welcome Home NH album and will be doing the vocals soon.
Take care,
Don

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Gilford Bicentennial "Kick Off" concert and dinner. It was great performing my NH songs for you and thanks for all the pre-orders of my upcoming album.

Hey everyone,

I've got a couple of demos on the website.  If you've got a minute, give a listen.

Also have a nice article in the Gilford Steamer today.

Well Steve Redic and I have finished writing the songs for the "Welcome Home NH" album. Now I'll be trying to find a sponsor and or make a record deal. I'm very excited about these new songs!

Hi everyone,
Just finished a demo recording of the first 4 songs for my "Welcome Home NH" album coming out this Spring. I'm only hitting a few open mics now and then till the album is finished.
Take care,
Don

I know I haven't been playing out much lately. I have been busy writng songs for a new album I hope to have out by May.
I should be showcasing some of the new songs at open mics and such after Newyears. Hope you are all well. Have a great Thanksgiving.

My thumb got crushed in a sliding van door today. I'm okay but won't be playing guitar for a week or so. It'll give me a chance to do some songwriting! Thanks to everyone who came out to The Barnstead bandstand show. Hope you enjoyed it as much as the band and I did.

This is a tough time of year for making decisions. Canoeing, hiking, or skiing on Mt Washington? Like I said, tough choices!

I've been booking some summer concerts and am on the hunt for a new guitar!

My good friend Franz Haase just opened his new music store in downtown Wolfeboro, NH. Visit him and his store in person or online at www.thefolkcellar.com

Thanks to everyone who braved the snowstorm to hear the "Don Watson and Friends Band" concert at the Franklin Opera House. What a fantastic show and words can't describe how much we enjoyed performing for you all.
Don

Take care,
Don

Wow it is cold out!! I had a great time playing at the New Years Eve party at Schofield's last night. My best to all of you in the new year.

The Ice strom knocked out our power and internet for about 2 days but we are back up now. The wood stove kept us warm and we never lost water which was very good. Lots of down tree limbs in the yard and the white birches took it hard.

The bugs are gone, the views from the mountains are great, and with any luck I'll be skiing and snowshoeing soon. I love the winter!

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who came out to hear the "Don Watson and Friends" band at the Gilford library. We sure had a fun time and were able to raise some funds for the library as well. I'm getting excited to visit with family and eat some turkey and pie in a few days.

Hot and sunny beach weather yeah!!! We had fun at the beach yesterday riding the surf and getting sand stuck everywhere!
