Appreciate the room and the crew for having us.

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.

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

➡️ 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. 🐝🤦‍♂️

When you reflect upon what once was You begin to u

When you reflect upon what once was
You begin to understand what now is.
The past does not define you
It enriches you like a teacher
Whispering lessons through hard times
When all you want people to do
Is to get clarity and insight
Not everyone will see as you do
They do not share this vision
They are absorbed in emotions,
And find solace in one-sided thought
If you can step outside the box
You will see the world unfold differently
More clear, softer and beautiful
You're mind will open to the truth;
Not all the noise being shown to you
Not the division, but the silent
Knowing that sustains you
The truth is love....
The truth is kindness.

That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover by Sweet Home Alabama

I dug this up from the archives. It was lost for a long time and I never really thought about it until Jeff, my guitarist in Sweet Home Alabama mentioned it. Enjoy!
