Jonathan Karrant
2026-06-14 17:00 - 22:00
Jonathan Karrant – 2026 Inductee Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame
Born and raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Jonathan performed in concerts and events around his home state, working with Deli Smith and The Don Bailey Quartet. Since then, Jonathan has called New York, California, and Las Vegas home, where he has enjoyed splendid success working in some of the finest jazz venues and performing arts centers.
The joyous home in which Jonathan grew up was filled with art, music, and dance. He spent a lot of time at his grandfather Bill and grandmother Goldia’s home where there was always much comedy and performance appreciation. His mother, Nancy, danced and taught for a local ballet company. She is an artist, writer, teacher, and an avid music lover. As a college student in Memphis, Tennessee, she sang with a girl’s band in the 1960’s. Jonathan’s father, John, is a business man and a broker who has a passion for farming and gardening, and owns a ranch just southwest of Fort Smith. While growing up, Jonathan spent many hours helping on the farm, enjoying the outdoors, the livestock and wildlife. Jonathan’s sister, Indra, studied dance from an early age and later excelled as a dancer/ choreographer.
His mother says Jonathan began singing from the time he was born! One day when he was eight months old and swinging in his wind-up mechanical swing while listening to music with huge earphones on his little ears, his mother noticed that his eyes were closed and he was turning his head from side to side in that recognizable musician’s horizontal nod. She gasped, “A Musician!” To her, that was a good thing, and she was not at all surprised as time went on and he continued to show musical ability and love of music.
Jonathan sang for hours every day, honing-in on his own type of music and style. When he was seven he began singing publicly. His first solo was at his church with Nancy Vernon, musical director and organist, directing and accompanying him. Then, that summer in Eureka Springs, he walked into a nightclub, made his way to the stage, and asked the band to accompany him while he sang “Stormy Monday”. The band agreed, and he was a big hit with the audience, as well as with the band.
As a teenager Jonathan was active in local theatre, and studied music and theatre in middle and high schools. After graduating from high school, director/writer/actor Meir Z. Ribalow recommended him for an intensive course of study at the William Esper Acting Studio in New York City. During this time he auditioned and was hired by the Metropolitan Opera House to play characters roles in performances, one of them being the opera “Aida” starring Luciano Pavorotti. It was an extraordinary time for him, working at the Met in major productions at Lincoln Center, brushing shoulders on stage with great stars.
Jonathan began to take every opportunity to sing and perform at all kinds of events, weddings, celebrations, at church, in clubs and lounges, wherever he was asked to perform. After performing as a soloist with the Don Bailey Jazz Concerts, he was advised to strike-out to Las Vegas. Without ever having visited there, he drove across country and jumped into the music scene, singing in supper clubs and lounges and casinos. While there, he had the opportunity to record with Vince Falcone, noted music director and pianist. And, in San Diego, he began performing in some of the most respected venues of that city. He has traveled for performances across the states as well as in Europe. He continues to grow an adoring and loyal following of fans who appreciate his artistry.
Audiences have characterized Jonathan as a great interpreter of song, a storyteller, a singer who brings music and lyric alive. Some refer to Jonathan as an amazing song-stylist who sings from the American songbook, an entertainer of star quality. Others say he paints a picture, he presents a mood and captivates a room through song. Jazz Corner said “Karrant’s voice is romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced” and “that he sings standards with an emotional weight that make it seem as if he had written the songs himself”. He will tell you that he loves people, loves connecting with other musicians and with his audience, and loves sharing time with those who also love to celebrate life and music.
Jonathan’s album “On and On” hit to number four in the jazz charts. The album features such songs as “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight” and “Doodlin’”, as well as the title track, and was produced by Tyler Monks, with pianist Josh Nelson, bassist Rob Thorsen, guitarist Mark Shapiro, and drummer Duncan Moore.
Jonathan was honored in the 2014 New York City Jazz Cabaret Honors and, in 2015, he was voted “Best Singer” for the Bravo San Diego Awards. Also, in 2015 Jonathan was asked to present two-time Grammy Award winner, Diane Schuur, with the proclamation of “Diane Schuur Day” in Palm Springs, Ca.
In his popular single, “Lady in Red”, Jonathan truly shines. Backed by pianist Mikan Zlatkovich, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Duncan Moore, Karrant sets himself apart from other contemporaries on this single. Ultimately, he displays a brilliance through phrasing and languid passages that linger.
Jonathan continues to return to Arkansas to perform for various events and charities, including: The Arkansas Woman of the Year Gala, Art Around the World (Fort Smith Regional Arts Museum); Reynolds Cancer House, Crisis Intervention Center, and with The Arkansas Symphony. The singer maintains a biannual residence at Fort Smith’s 906 Cocktail and Cigar Lounge, where he presents his well anticipated and received Christmas Show.
Permanently based in Las Vegas, Jonathan has been a leading force for jazz, contributing much to the arts and culture of the community. He is a preserver and innovator of mainstream jazz, intent on keeping one of America’s original art forms thriving.

Wanda Watson
2026-06-20 20:00 - 2026-06-21 00:00
“The best of two worlds…the rawness of a natural born blues singer with a colorful past and the polish of a maturing talent…delivers every time”. Ronnie Bravo, Austin Chronicle
“A great big heart with a voice to match…sings the blues with passion, authority” Linda Suebold, Southwest Times Record
“A deep-down, soul-touching, blues/rock singer (with a) hard-driving style and from-the-gut voice” Terrell Lester, OKmagazine
“Get ready for a professional, high energy, foot stomping, hand clapping, and soul shaking night of some of the best music anywhere!” Joey Secora, owner of Joey’s, ‘Tulsa’s Home of the Blues’
“Wanda Watson has got to be the best thing to happen to music since Les Paul ran an electric cable through a hookup in a hollow-body guitar”. Todd Webb, Uptown News
“Wanda Watson is a warrior and a magician. She has traveled that long, lonesome road and gained great wisdom along the way. She has survived the dark night of the soul and come out smiling. She sees the world from the highest mountain, with her feet firmly on the ground. Though she seems to be a maniac, she is legally sane and has the papers to prove it. Her laugh can make trees bloom in a blizzard.” Jim Downing, “Tulsa Entertainment Writer”
“I think this gal is great!” Jim Halsey, Music Business Impresario; Mgr., Oak Ridge Boys
Very rarely will you find an entertainer whose style and charisma matches their talent or vice-versa. Wanda Watson delivers on both counts. Hard charging and aggressive on one song; tender and emotionally sincere on the next, Wanda makes every song her own. Any of her devoted fans will tell you her performances make every audience member feel that she is there for them and them alone.
In December 2004 & 2006, Wanda was voted “Best Vocalist” by the Blues Society of Tulsa; quite an honor considering the world-class level of talent that town produces. In September 2005, Wanda and her band were voted “Best Blues Act” by Tulsa World’s coveted SPOT Awards (Oklahoma’s version of the Grammy’s). In February 2006, Wanda was inducted into the 1st Class of the “Old Town Musician’s Hall of Fame” in Ft. Smith, AR. Also in February 2006, she was “Payne County Line Hall of Fame – Blues Artist Honoree for her life’s accomplishments, and for being an integral part of Oklahoma’s rich musical heritage.” In May 2007, Wanda was inducted into the “Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame” another deserved and noted accomplishment of Wanda Watson’s musical endeavors. In June 2009 & 2011, Wanda and her band was nominated for “Urban Tulsa’s “Absolute Best of Tulsa’s” Blues/R&B” acts category.
She is a definitive blues artist. In a city noted for its top-shelf musicians and singers, Wanda stands out as a true stylist. Whether putting her stamp on original songs or belting out time tested standards, Wanda is a consummate entertainer and crowd pleaser. No other singer gives such emotional and gutsy performances…as her faithful and reverent fans will attest. Expect to be WOWED!
