Kemper Watson
Kemper Watson was born January 3, 1957 in the talent rich town of Macon Ga. A social student with high scholastics. At the age of 11 he was very knowledgeable and interested in all forms of music. Coming from a background of family musicians he got his first stringed instrument at the age of 12. He was attracted to such greats as Otis Redding, Little Richard, The Beatles, Stones, and Eric Clapton. Then, along came the Allman Brothers Band and all of the other bands of the Macon based Capricorn Records. By this time Kemper was drawn to the bass guitar and tried to mold himself after The Allman's Berry Oakley. Kemper started playing many local venues with some of his buddies from school. Also working with his dad's country bands by the tender age of 16. Within a year he met guitarist Tim Brooks. He and Tim toured the southeast extensively. When Tim Brooks won Guitar Player Magazine's "Best Un-signed Guitarist" contest, it was off to Austin, Texas to record an album with the legendary Dave Mc Nair, of Stevie RayVaughn fame. After headlining the Savannah Ga. St. Patrickís Day Festival, it was off to Europe for a two-month tour. When management took control of Tim's band. Kemper auditioned for Phil Grande, Joe Cocker's guitarist of seven years. Kemper played with Phil till New York called, but during those 18 months, the band opened for Gov't Mule at several festivals.

The past several years Kemper has been playing with a hot bed of Atlanta musicians. Noble Jones, Barry Richman, Diane Durrett, Caroline Akin, Mike Veal and many others have enjoyed Kemper's playing.

If you need a solid groove with an artistic flair, give Kemper a listen...

Ross Lindsey
Ross Linsdey was born in Macon, Ga. August 2nd 1956. At the age of seven I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Yes, I remember it well. Ringo looked at me from the TV, pointed his right drum stick at me, and said "ROSS (that's me), you're cursed. From now on you HAVE to play drums." And so, I did. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I got my first set of drums that following Christmas, started private lessons, began rehearsing with my grammar school band, and within 6 months started playing with a rock group who where in their teens, and had my first paying gigs before school was out for summer. I continued with the school band through the 8th grade, but, my thang was rock n' roll.

I played almost every weekend throughout my school years. The bands I were in held most rehearsals in "THE BASEMENT" at my house. I practiced alone for hours every chance I got. You know what I'm saying; headphones on, picking up that needle off the record and putting it back....putting it back....over n' over....n' over....n' over again. MAN! How did my family put up with that?
