Music on Main: The Watts
June 30thMain Street at Denny’s Plaza
http://www.cityofspartanburg.org/
With a solid dual-guitar driven lineup fueled with pulsing bass guitar and drums, and featuring a distinct lead-vocal pair, THE WATTS have a style and sound to delight classic-rock purists, drawing stylistic comparisons to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, Santana, Sugar Ray, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime and 311. THE WATTS is by no means a recycler of rock’s yesteryear, however. As diverse in their influences as they are in their individual personalities, THE WATTS contain elements of New Orleans-style funk, Chicago-style rhythm and blues and Detroit soul, as well as inflections of Jamaican-style reggae and flourishes of the Southern rock flavor indigenous to the band’s Upstate South Carolina home base.
