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. More information and tour dates below.
