Hearing Headwater is like listenening to the West Coast of Canada in song. Freewheeling, fierce, sentimental and sexy, the Vancouver, B.C., quartet has earned its reputation as one of the finest acoustic roots groups around the old-fashioned way - they work their asses off.
Since forming in 2001, the group has logged in thousands of kilometres criss-crossing Western Canada and playing to anyone and everyone willing to give it some love. With hooks, driving rhythms, adventurous steel guitar and mandolin solos, and beautiful three-part vocal harmonies all featured in tight, concise under four-minute songs, they found fans fast. Or they roped them in at first, street busking before gigs rather than hanging out waiting for crowds to come to them.
"Headwater have turned out a very exciting record - something of real worth. Think Great Lake Swimmers with a greater sense of momentum."
It was great seeing you live in Victoria two days back. Guys, I love your work. Neat that y'all got a standing ovation from the crowd. Man, wonderful songs, great presentation and you're nice people on top of all that. FAN TASS TICK.
