Formed in 2000, Watch Husky Burn (formerly Husky) is a Charlotte, North Carolina, USA-based instrumental, psychedelic rock trio. Its latest album “Garnet” exclusively features tube amplifiers made by Canadian Gar Gillies in the `60s and `70s. The bulk of “Garnet,” including some drum and keyboard tracks, were recorded using Garnet amps at Tremont Music Hall - a nearly 20-year-old Charlotte venue.. WHB features Mark Hadden on bass, Phil Strickland on guitar, and Nate Wilkinson on drums. “Garnet” is its third album following 2006’s “Circle the Wagons” and 2008’s “The Sea King” (released under the name Husky).

After performing and recording as Husky for 12 years, Husky changed their name to Watch Husky Burn. Hadden and Strickland began playing together as high school sophomores in 1991. After various band experiences, they recruited Wilkinson and in early 2000 WHB was born. Since their inception, the instrumental trio has grown from spinning improvised epic rock jams to firing off focused, intelligent yet simple tunes. Ranging from thick, head nodding groove-rock to echoing bluesy twang and swirling psychedelia to driving Southern grit, WHB’s masculine punch has been embraced by fans of blues and classic rock to modern and stoner rock aficionados. Their improv skills often come into play during live shows. The full-length debut “Circle the Wagons” was released in March 2006. The follow up album “The Sea King” was released in April 2008.
