Walter Watson - Drums and vocals

Live music, specifically live rock n roll, is about two things:  Vibe and Energy.  Sure, good musicianship is a must and that’s a given with Double Ace. But the thing that sets these longtime rockers apart is their vibe, energy and passion for playing live. They have the ability to create an excitement and groove that, like all good live music, takes both the band and the audience on a great ride.

The band is four guys who’ve played together for way more years than they care to admit. While they’ve all played in other bands and projects, Double Ace is home. Their time together as players has resulted in a “tightness” that is truly rare in local bands. Double Ace doesn’t try to be all things to all people. This ain’t a “party” or “show” band. What you see is what you get:  Straight ahead rock n roll played well and with a ton of energy and fun mixed in. 

Oh sure, the band’s song list includes a wide and eclectic variety of tunes. They cover classic Brit rock from the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Clapton and Elton John. They do well-known American artists like the Allman Bros., Petty, and Skynyrd. But they’re most at home with the Texas blues rock of ZZ Top, Stevie Ray, Joe Ely and Storyville, etc. Mix in some more obscure titles and a few original tunes and you’ve got the Double Ace experience. 

So click on “Song List” for a complete rundown of material (by the way, the list is constantly being updated with new stuff) and click on “Music” for a sample of both studio and live recordings. But most of all, if good music and good times are something you’re into, come see Double Ace live!  Chances are you’ll be really glad you did.
