“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 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!
