Our Guest Speaker is Keith Watson  - https://www.theintemperatesons.com/
 

Keith Watson is part of The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys who joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create The Intemperate Sons. They caught the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man” that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.
For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation. They have traveled and played the whiskey. Keith will be joined by his sons on the Zoom call.
