Happy Thanksgiving from David Reed Watson and Mic Happy Thanksgiving from David Reed Watson and Michael St. John jamming live at Helios Ranch - Las Vegas. #thanksgivingjam
Thanksgiving carries a lot. Gratitude, connection, Thanksgiving carries a lot. Gratitude, connection, family… and also a history that asks us to pause, listen, and honor the truth that Native communities have carried for generations. For me, respect and awareness belong at the table just as much as the food. Today, I’m grateful for the road behind me and the road ahead. For the music that kept me alive more times than I can count. For the people who show up to listen, sing, and share a moment where the noise of the world finally quiets down. And for the Indigenous cultures whose wisdom, strength, and connection to the land deserve more light than this world often gives them. I’m looking forward to stepping into 2026 with that same spirit — bringing music, stories, and heart to every room I play. There are shows already lined up, more being added, and I can’t wait to see old faces and meet new ones along the way. Every gig feels like a small way to give back: a space to breathe, to feel something real, and to be reminded that connection still matters. So today I give thanks — not just for what I have, but for the people and cultures who remind us what resilience, truth, and spirit look like. Wherever you are today, may your gratitude be honest, your heart be open, and your path be guided by something deeper than the noise. Happy Thanksgiving — from the heart, with respect, and with so much to look forward to in the coming year. Peace, D #Thanksgiving2025 #livemusic @David Reed Watson

➡️ Swipe to see what happens when you take “Bee wi ➡️ Swipe to see what happens when you take “Bee wild inside” too literally… 🐝😅 Yesterday was one for the books. @jeff_outlaw and I drove 5 hours to Cottonwood, AZ to play a benefit show for our friends @devin.w.walker and @mkubi68 . I’m sitting there before the show, drinking this non-alcoholic Wild Tonic — the label literally says “Bee wild inside” and “Bee’s Knees,” bragging about supporting bees with real honey. Michelle asks me, “Are you allergic to anything?” (Mind you... this was a totally random question. She didn't see the bee go into my drink.) I answer, “No.” I take a sip… There’s a bee in my drink. It stings my lip. Instant cartoon. To top it off, they dressed their pugs as BEES that morning. The foreshadowing was real. So yeah… the gig still went on. The lip blew up overnight. Sometimes the universe gives you a story you could never write yourself. Moral of the story: Always check the drink. Especially when the can dares the bees to get inside. 🐝🤦‍♂️ #BeeWildInside #PerformerLife #BeeAttack #RockNRollStories #SometimesTheGigBitesBack @drinkwildtonic

TRAINING VIDEO — scored with songs I’ve been part of 🎧🔥
Day Two of the training build toward the Route 66 Rattler MTB Race (April 18, 2026). Early start with a 5:30am cold plunge, then back out on the bike for a full Landmine Loop in Blue Diamond, NV. The focus stayed the same as Day One: aerobic, controlled, repeatable. In this video, I’m sharing more of my mountain bike history — how riding and racing were a huge part of my life years ago, how I stepped away, and why that passion is back now. Music has always been my foundation, but this is about another love that’s always been there alongside it. The camera angle is dialed in on this one, and I cut the video down to about 35 minutes, trimming long steady climbs while keeping the flow, terrain, and mindset intact. Ride Stats • Distance: 7.69 miles • Time: 1:07:52 • Elevation Gain: 673 ft • Average Power: 97 W • Average Speed: 6.8 mph • Relative Effort: 131 • Energy Output: 594 kJ • Conditions: Cool, clear desert morning Training Notes This was a true Zone 2 endurance ride. Steady pacing, controlled breathing, and no surging on climbs. The goal right now is consistency and durability — building a base that will support harder efforts later. This series is about showing the process honestly — the rides, the history, and the return to something that’s always mattered to me. On to Day Three.
DAY 2 – FULL LOOP | ZONE 2 BUILD | JAN 8, 2026
