Well said from his FB page: It was amazing to play my old underground haunt Hashigo Zake solo last night. I've played there many times with a band so last night was kind of an experiment for me to see if I could carry it with just guitar and voice. It was AWESOME. They were turning folks away at the door and the crowd was REALLY into it. There's something very cool about playing my tunes alongside music from as far back as the 1920s to a listening & appreciate crowd. When I play I always hope I've made a blues convert or two, or at least turned some folks onto some of the great older shit. Last night I'm sure I did. I also played a few tunes with the delightful Delia Shanly on drum kit, while I hit the Telecaster all Pops Staples-styles . . . . that went great too. Amazing gig.

About Darren Watson
No-one plays the blues like Darren Watson. Over the better part of three decades he has developed a style that, while touching on all of the greats who inspired him, is personal, powerful and identifiably his own.
Watson gained national fame in the 80s as the young front-man and guitar-slinger for Smokeshop. The band made two albums, had several radio hits, opened for numerous international blues legends and toured tirelessly, earning Watson a place alongside the likes of Midge Marsden, Hammond Gamble and Rick Bryant as one of New Zealand's best blues interpreters.
