Growing up with the Illinois River in his back yard, Daniel Watkins’s roots run deep in the valley. He picked up his first job as a gas attendant at the old lock and dam in Henry. There he would practice guitar while waiting on boaters and playing for tips. Daniel incorporates musical and topical elements of the current era across the backdrop of traditional folk and bluegrass music.
