Interview: Michael Watson of Above The Golden State

Michael Watson is the frontman for a new band on Sparrow Records called Above The Golden State. I've actually had the chance to hang with Michael a couple of times and he's a super good dude and really loves Jesus. 

This was an interview I got to do with him when he was on the fall tour with Starfield. He's a very cool dude and I'd recommend you check out his stuff. It's got a pop rock vibe and they're fun to listen too. Check out their WEBSITE for more on them.
