| | Summer “Concerts at the Cove” continues this Thursday night, July 22nd, 6:00 pm - 7:45 pm, with Billy Watson performing! | | Billy Watson is an artist and entertainer whose live performances and art exhibitions can often times go hand in hand. Watson can be seen performing a Madcap Blues harmonica show that has become his major focus and behavioral outlet. Since 1988, Watson has installed over fifty art shows in coffee shops, hair salons, and restaurants throughout the San Diego area. His creativity and versatility is evidenced by a variety of mediums ranging from watercolors and pastels to socio-political assemblages and hand painted model airplanes. Many local art patrons have admired his work, having purchased over two hundred pieces. With an interactive flair, Watson's work evokes responses ranging from praise to laughter to vandalism and theft. Upon receiving a Bachelor's of FineArts in Graphic Design from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Watson decided to travel West to experience the lifestyle of Southern California. Finding random work painting surfboards, fabricating signs, and life guarding, Watson eventually got the Blues. Now driven by this internal Ghost, Watson fronts his own show, with the International Silver String Submarine Band. It is a harmonica Blues show that focuses on creating a humorous and entertaining experience for the live viewer while also paying tribute to the legends that created the music. Together with the efforts of an ever-changing, all-star musical cast, Watson has produced nine CD's that have been sold internationally and are available at Bluebeat Records, Lou's Records and online at Reverbnation.com, as well as billywatson.com. | | This event is free and open to the public.
