Vail Valley Band
Don Watson and the Vail Valley Band have now been performing in Vail, around Colorado, the United States, and the world for twenty years now. The current line-up of this band is: Don Watson, lead vocals, rhythm guitar and guitar synthesizer; Beth Swearingen Kuntz, lead vocals and percussion; David Andersen, lead guitar, mandolin and vocals; Peter Fontanese, bass guitar and backing vocals with Bobby Hyams on drums and percussion.
The Vail Valley Band continues to delight audiences with their uncanny ability to segue from song to song, and from one style or genre of music seamlessly into another. The members of this band take great pride in their ability to honor guest requests. If the band is not able to play the exact song requested, then the band will usually be able to perform a selection by the same artist, or to satisfy that guest's request in some fashion.
The Vail Valley Band is a very interactive band, always sensitive to the needs of their guests, whether it is to perform background music for cocktails and then dinner, or when the band kicks it into high gear for dancing later in the evening, this band is ever sensitive to flow, volume, and guest reactions, both to material and presentation. The members of the Vail Valley band believe that for a performance to be successful, every audience member or guest in attendance should ultimately feel like the band did something just for them! Everyone should feel like they are taking a little piece of the evening home with them. The energy that is generated between the audience and band or X Factor is an extremely important part of every performance. Personal biographies and references will gladly be supplied by request.
