HONKY TONK CASANOVAS Featuring JON WATSON

Honky Tonk Casanovas play an entertaining mix of country, western swing, California surf and southern soul music! Based out of the MD/VA/Washington DC area, the Casanova's feature the rich vocals of Cherith and Larry, lots of honky tonk guitar by Bob, the beautiful sounds of pedal steel guitar from Eric and the high energy keyboard stylings of Rich Whiting.

Jon Watson received honorable mentions in both Northern Virginia Rhythm and Maryland's Music Monthly as a local solo acoustic performer in the mid-90s. In 1997, he headed west and connected with musicians from across the country, forming the San Diego-based band “Southbound Jonny.” Jon led this high-energy country rock and blues band for nearly two decades, performing throughout the Southwest and opening for acts like Hal Ketchum and Dwight Yoakam.
Now, this native Virginian has returned home, embracing his roots as a solo acoustic performer. Jon's blend of '80s and '90s country, Americana, classic rock, blues and original music creates a harmonious mix of vocals and acoustic sound, driven by the energy of any room he plays.
