Eaton and Sanders are mainstays of the Pocatello music scene. They played together frequently at the Sandpiper and other local music venues until about a decade ago when Eaton moved to Boise. The duo also produced two albums.

Watson is a well-known country musician from Pocatello who has performed at the Pocatello River Festival and the 鈥淏iggest Show in Idaho鈥� Independence Day Celebration held annually in Pocatello, as well as a variety other venues including performances in Nashville.

The show will open with a set by Watson and will be followed by a set featuring Eaton and Sanders. There鈥檚 a good chance all three musicians will play some songs together, too, and Eaton and Sanders will be joined on some songs by Phil Garonzik. Garonzik is an accomplished saxophone and flute player who played with Eaton in their former band Fat Chance.

鈥淢ike and I will be playing the stuff we鈥檝e been playing together, including a few original songs,鈥� said Eaton, who has written hit songs for The Carpenters, Art Garfunkel, Lee Greenwood and others. 鈥淲e鈥檒l play the stuff Eaton and Sanders are known for, everything from old standards and rock-and-roll, to folk music. Rocky and I have also known each other for years and we鈥檒l be playing some songs we鈥檝e written together.鈥�

Eaton said the musicians will play a few Christmas songs, but 鈥渋t won鈥檛 be a Christmas show.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檝e really never done a big concert in Pocatello,鈥� noted Sanders, who has been a prominent media voice, musician and businessman in Pocatello since moving here in 1978. 鈥淭his will be really huge for us. It has been a long time since Steve and I have gotten together and it has been ages since we鈥檝e done a concert. And, I鈥檓 just really excited to be performing a concert in the Stephens Center. It is an incredible venue.鈥�

Watson鈥檚 contribution will be a country twist to the concert.

鈥淚鈥檓 country, country-rock, and Eaton and Sanders have their own specialty, so it should be quite a concert featuring a variety of music,鈥� Watson said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e all been friends for years, and putting us all together should be a really good show.鈥�
