Rock Watkins, Singer / Songwriter & Producer. The release of my debut album, ROCK WATKINS-Talesman is a journey of trials & tribulations to perseverance. The album consists of original compositions performed & engineered entirely by myself.
Now comes the 2nd album ROCK WATKINS-Tales Of Despair, this encore to the Talesman completes my debut performances.
Next comes ROCK WATKINS-Sipping Tea is a collaboration of songs featuring Boots Tosti (Saxophone) and dedicated to Kevin Casey (Drums). This collection of Rock-Jazz-Acoustic inspired songs, performed over many years with the greatest of friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
With careful consideration I'm accompanied by an amazing entourage of talented dedicated musicians, that perform each track note for note. Also, in our live shows surprise cover songs can be expected. When selecting cover songs we as artist never want to be known as "the band that covered other artist music verbatim". When covering other artists we perform the tunes like they are our own... new & exciting!
Our lineup:
Daniel Douglas - Drums & Percussion
Nic NNZ - Bass
Lega'ce Singer - Back-Up Vocals
Boots Tosti - Saxophone
Rock Watkins - Lead Vocal & Guitar
"ROCK WATKINS-Talesman debut album and encore Tales Of Despair consists of modern progressive art-rock played from the heart. Performed & produced entirely by singer songwriter ROCK WATKINS. Born from fire & forged by desire... Rock tells the tale and invites you on a journey of beautifully composed songs written for the people. With music inspired by life experiences, this is modern rock at its finest. Hypnotic... Inspiring... from tranquil to haunting... ROCK WATKINS delivers."
