About
.png)
Born out of the northwest hills of NJ in the shadow of the Appalachian Ridge,
Water Street mixes soulful acoustic melodies, enticing bluegrass mandolin riffs, and a driving rhythm section with some hints of funk which combine to create a unique Pop/Americana sound.
The band is named after the real life
Water Street in Blairstown, where in 2014 the founding members began playing
and practicing in an old warehouse adjacent to the Paulinskill Creek.
The band released their first full length album Waiting for Martin in 2016 and followed it up with Dear You a six track
EP in 2018 and have appeared on the pages of Vents Magazine and The Indie Music Review. They are currently working on their third release, due out in 2020.
"This is Americana music for our modern world, still full of the same depth and soul heard on classic recordings, but much more resonate with our modern lives"
- Joshua Stride, Music Existence
"Water Street are more than a talented regional act – they are a band whose talents leave them teetering on the cusp of greatness."
-Bradley Johnson, Carlitos Music Blog
"Water Street embodies the best of modern Americana while surrounding their material with an excellence that extends far past typical."
-Monty Zike, Valhalla Music Blog

Dear Friends and Family of Water Street,
We have some exciting news to share with you and we need your help!
Over the years many of you have been incredibly supportive of Water Street. In the past year the band has seen some members move onto other callings and amazing challenges. At the same time Connor and Dave have continued writing and recording, welcoming some new friends to the group along the way. Joe Byrne, Dave's college floormate stepped in adding bass to the rhythm section alongside of Connor. Brad White, a longtime friend of Dave's, brings his considerable song writing, vocals and his sharp bluegrass mandolin skills to the new sound with Mike Stark, a schoolmate of Connor and Dave's rounding the band out with backing vocals and some seriously expert electric guitar abilities. Water Street has been writing and recording, preparing to release a new album due out in early summer, 2020.
