TV's Watson & Lewis

“TV’s Watson & Lewis” is an acoustic guitar duo featuring the combined talents of San Diego guitar guys "FM Watson" (DaddyLongLeggs, Schmaltz) and "Jimmy Lewis" (Bad Mood Zeus, Super Unloader). This unique duo offers a mix of covers and originals that spans “A” as in instrumental guitar virtuoso songs of “Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Paco DeLucia”, to “Z” as in vocal songs of “Zeppelin” and “Zappa”. While there is often a focus on Faux-Flamenco and Spanish guitar flavors, the vocal songs and others fill in everything from Blues and Bluegrass to Classical and Rock, giving this duo the ability to keep it confined to intimate-event acoustic guitar instrumentals for ambiance, or large-scale events where a mixed bag is preferred.

His original music is written in that same 'feel good' style as his influences. So why '88 Keys in Colour'? His current one man show is centered around the Piano but there are many additional elements of 'colour' in the mix contributing to a polished yet still organic soundscape. Utilizing various pedals and keyboard splits, he employs effects to his Piano/Rhodes/Organ, adds vocal harmonies and polished production to his soulful vocals and even triggers live drum/percussion loops on a number of songs. In 2017, he released remastered editions of 3 of his albums "Recollection," "Changes," and "Ascension," and relaunched his website 'www.theartofchrismorris.com'. A new album of original music is slated for release in 2018. All in all, Chris is excited to get out and connect with music lovers of all types through these intimate "88 Keys in Colour' shows.
