THE WATSON TWINS PERFORM ON CONAN O’BRIEN TONIGHT! ANNOUNCING FALL TOUR OPENING FOR THE LEGENDARY BILLY BRAG
Kentucky is renowned for blue ribbon exports to the rest of the world. The Sport of Kings, bourbon and Will Oldham to name a few but perhaps none are finer than The Watson Twins. Their first solo appearance on late night tv will happen Monday, September 29th on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (12:35/11:35 central on NBC). Chandra and Leigh Watson will join the UK singer songwriter Billy Bragg for a 13 date tour beginning October 17 in State College Pennsylvania, concluding on November 2 in Asheville North Carolina. This particular swing through the US will include stops in Appalachian country, a perfect backdrop to experience the evocative harmonies of The Watson Twins and the fiery agitation of Bragg.
