South Cobb Arts Alliance Summer Candlelite Concert Series: Roxie Watson

  • Roxie Watson is a five piece string band that is birthing a new musical genre – “alterna-grass” – a finely crafted blend of bluegrass, country, western and blues, with splashes of soul, zydeco and Hee Haw. Roxie Watson draws from the varied talents and musical histories of each of her members to deliver rich harmonies, amazing fretwork, and soulful solos.

"When you have a group of women who are natural story-tellers, who sooth their aggressive musical chops with beautiful harmonies, temper their rock-n-roll sensibilities with an understanding of Appalachian tradition, and come off as a little bit Keith Richards, a little bit Bill Monroe, you get Roxie Watson."

- Lisa Love, Georgia Music Foundation, Executive Director - Georgia Music Magazine
