My guest today is singer David Reed Watson. This guy is one of the nicest guys I’ve had on the podcast. He’s been singing for years but he was also in the advertising game. But before ALL of that, he was a Marine. While he was deployed to Egypt he had the opportunity to lay in the sarcophagus in the great pyramid of Giza. That changed his life. That and getting hit by a car. He tells me how a severance package and a promise to his sister before passed away from Sjogren’s Syndrome kick started his musical career. He also shares what the advertising world (including his role in the famous Truth campaign) and the smell of Burger King’s french fries has taught him.
David has been a part of many bands. I think the last count was sixteen. But his latest endeavor is my favorite, A Rising Force. It’s been a long journey and he shares a lot of stories, like how the band’s name and their latest release, Eclipse, really have nothing to do with Yngwie Malmsteen, even though David HAS worked with him. Check out risingforceband.com to buy the album, Eclipse. Go to davidreedwatson.com to hear all the other great work David has done.
