Since their first gig at now sadly defunct Spitz in London, watershed has gone on to create their own unique blend of americana infused “folk and roll”. Think Jackson Browne, The Band, Bonnie Raitt, Crowded House, John Martyn and a healthy dose of more modern artists like Amos Lee, Bros Landreth, and Jason Isbell.
watershed started live tracking for their 3rd album in Summer 2023 at Masterlinks Studios, with a slated release in 2024.
Of their 2nd album “Coupons For The Moon”, Indie Music Habit said: “Where most new folk artists are losing sight of its traditions, watershed keeps it intact while bringing an edgy, southern rock influence to the table to make for a unique yet familiar sound. With clear, smooth and beautiful melodies and relatable lyrics.”
iTunes reviewer Douglas Payne said of their first album “Songs From The Shed”: this is the sound of a band at ease with each other, at ease with their instruments and at ease with their own southeastern groove that harks back to the southern harmony-rock of America’s south, the west coast melodies of early 70s Los Angeles and the gritty funk of New York City. However, mention must also be made of the occasional quirkiness of the writing and production which has roots far closer to home…. visions of Syd Barrett or The Incredible String Band flow beautifully through the imagination. I think somebody once said that “you can take the band out of England, but you can’t take the England out of the band.”
The albums “Coupons For The Moon” and “Songs From The Shed” are available from Bandcamp in CD or to download, as well as Spotify and Apple Music/ iTunes, as well as other leading streaming platforms worldwide.
