What to expect

Flashing lights, thunder rolls and lightning splits the sky. And that's just the opening song.LOL!
What do you expect to see from a classic rock act? Lots of jumps , mid-air splits, excessive drinking, drugs, and tens of thousands of screaming groupies?
Sorry, Watts Left is just a professional group of musicians that deliver quality Rock And Roll. Real Music. Words you can understand. Lights, yes. High quality sound and musicianship? Yes!Drugs? NONE!!
Ten thousand screaming half naked girls? Well,we are working on that one, but we are building a quality following thru live shows and social networking.
Does Watts Left really deliver the goods when it comes to a great entertainment? Don't take our word for it. Come to a show, check us out live, talk with the bartenders and owners. If we don't don't impress you, don't hire us. We aren't for everyone, just owners that are established in the business or want to be and realize that crowds wont come without quality entertainment to loosen their purse strings.

About

Watts Left Band delivers Classic Rock with a Southern flair in what we call Southern Fried Classic Rock. We deliver a huge selection of songs you know with a few you forgot that you love! We'll have you singing and dancing and coming back for more.
To make a REALLY long story not quite as long ... Watts Left has a group of QUALITY musicians. These are some of the best players that I have been associated with in my 20 plus years of playing. We are a tight unit with good vocals, excellent equipment,professional attitudes (that in itself usually sets us apart) and appearance. We deliver a song selection and upbeat show with radio staples that most people will recognize but may be surprised to hear because they are not your typical 3 chord barroom fodder.
We are a CLASSIC rock band. We also play Southern rock. Not just Sweet Home (link hidden) song-list ranges from the Allman Brothers to ZZ TOP to well, a lot of great songs that not every other band plays.
Eagles, Bob Seger,Clapton,Wild Cherry,Outlaws,Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros.,Grand Funk Railroad..Etc.. You get the idea. And I am really proud to say that we play a very close version to the (link hidden) we Play it, you will say "oh yeah, I know that song"..
On the business side , we bring full PA and lights. We have 16 track recording direct to a laptop and often record the live shows. We have Pro-quality instruments,professional players and professional attitudes.
In a nut shell, for a three hour show ,we bring in excess of $10,000 worth of equipment, over a century of combined music stage and studio experience, and a lifetimes worth of charisma for the tidy sum of $600 MINIMUM!
I know you just took a breath but .. in 1992, the band was making the same money with half the equipment we have now. I also realize that times are tuff but we have 5 pieces and we are worth at least $100 a night apiece. That's CHEAP for what you get. We are worth twice that and would like to have some shows that would get us what we are (link hidden) are not the average kid band that will play for beer.
That being said, we are looking for places closer to home that won't cost us everything we make in fuel @$4.oo a gal.
I don't want to come off as harsh but I have had some incredible club owner stories this year so I just tell like it is. Check out the website . We have live versions of cover tunes, unedited . What ya hear is what you get. We also have links to our CDs and merchandise .You can also feel free to come see us at a show first. If we don't move ya, don't hire us.. Our schedule is on the website. Also on Facebook,Reverbnation,Myspace, and Twitter . Check us out and let me know what you think, good or not so good. We value your input and strive to improve our show everyday.
Well, I warned you it was a long story. Thank you for your time, interest ,and patience. Sincerely, WES NANCE

Additional booking notes

On the business side , we bring full PA and Lights,,Marshall amps, full 16 track recording direct to a laptop, . We have Pro-quality instruments.
In a nut shell, for a three hour show ,we bring in excess of $10,000 worth of equipment, over a century of combined music stage and studio experience, and a lifetimes worth of charisma .
We have a ton of top quality gear and expect good clean power and easy access to outlets on separate service and good grounds.
I hate to have to even include this but it seems to have became an necessity. We also need reasonable load in time and we expect security for the band, guest, and vehicles. Again, why should I even have to mention this?..
Also, we would appreciate adequate restroom facilities. Please try to be respectful of the needs of the women involved with WATTS LEFT band...
