I hadn't been keeping up with
Andrew Watt (a Long Island native) since 2014 when he was a member of
California Breed with Glen Hughes and Jason Bonham (that first album was one of the best of 2014 and I saw them in concert here on LI, awesome show!).
I see he had veared into pop and had big success winning a Grammy as a producer.
So it's nice to see him back with Hard Rock and Ozzy!

Watt grew up in Great Neck, New York. He attended John L. Miller Great Neck North High School, and graduated in 2008.[7] "One of the greatest aspects of growing up in Great Neck, Long Island, was that it was literally 30 minutes from Manhattan," Watt said.[8] His first professional gigs were playing guitar for Jared Evan, Cody Simpson and Justin Bieber.
In 2013, Watt was a founding member and guitarist of the rock band California Breed alongside Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) and Jason Bonham (Foreigner).
Quote:
California Breed was an English-American hard rock band based in Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2013, the band was a supergroup composed of bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist Andrew Watt, and drummer Jason Bonham. Following the breakup of his previous band Black Country Communion, Hughes was introduced to Watt in 2013 and the two quickly formed California Breed, with Black Country Communion drummer Bonham completing the lineup shortly after. The band recorded its self-titled debut album with producer Dave Cobb in late 2013, which was released through Frontiers Records in May 2014 and reached number 78 on the US Billboard 200.
