The Gym Bobs Jamboree Show in Bible Grove will welcome Nashville recording session musician Eddie Watson, currently of the legendary Billy Joe Royal Band, to their stage on Sunday, August 2, at 1PM.

Watson will be the featured guest along with Mike Porter, Marsha Banning and the Panther Creek Band, who host the show the first Sunday of the month throughout the year. Watson began performing at the age of seven back in his hometown of Ripley, Mississippi. Since making his home in Nashville, TN, he has become a popular touring and recording session keyboardist for many of America's top national recording artists to include Eddy Raven, Craig Morgan, Jo-El Sonnier and Ronnie McDowell. He has performed on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, The Oldies Rock and Roll Series at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in Jackson, TN, as well as the Dick Clark Theater in Branson, MO. "We are very fortunate to have such a talented musician like Eddie Watson at our Jamboree in August," said Owner of Gym Bobs Robert Porter. "Every month we feature some of the finest local and area talent in Illinois, and we are especially honored that Eddie will be making the trip from Nashville to be with us."

Tickets for the show are $7 dollars for adults and $5 for students and can be purchased at the door.
