Songwriter Christopher Watkins developed an intense passion for the Delta blues at the early age of 16. Seven years later, as "Preacher Boy", he put together an electric band that would maintain the traditional feel of acoustic blues while transplanting it into clubs for young audiences who may have never even heard of Robert Johnson or Charley Patton. Preacher Boy and the Natural Blues were an instant hit on the alternative rock circuit, their skewed roots sound capturing the imagination of everyone within earshot.
These are photos from concerts where Preacher Boy played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
