Connect with 100 Watt Vipers: Facebook
Coming from the hot steamy air of Jacksonville Florida is a blues duet calling themselves, 100 Watt Vipers. The duet is Paul Joseph playing guitars, songwriting and producing with DJ Riddick playing drums and singing. Their music is a raw celebration of the honest working class, set to a heavy blues beat and dirty guitars. Formed in 2013 by longtime friends Joseph and Riddick, the hard-working blues rock duet has been steadily releasing music since then and are now releasing a new full-length album titled, Holy Water. With thirteen original tracks any blues-rock fan will admire. Plus, the digital album has two bonus tracks of acoustic versions of, “After the Storm Comes The Peace” and “The Bell Tolls Heavy.”

Solid songwriting and interesting lyrics. Joseph does a fine job on guitar, with a wide range of sounds and colors. Riddick’s vocals match the music, with a raw authoritative sound.
