The players in Water Tower come from a dense musical background. Cory received his degree in music from the University of Oregon with a focus on jazz guitar. Cory is currently improving very quickly at the fiddle and working on a second album of original music. Kenny Feinstein is pursuing a degree in jazz studies (also on guitar) at UO. He enjoys playing fiddle and banjo along with his other instruments, and has recorded several solo records. Josh Rabie plays all the instruments in the lineup as well. He is an accomplished three-finger banjo player, driving flat-picker, and has a few solo records under his belt. | | Influences | Bill Monroe, Roan Mountain Hilltoppers, Ed Haley, Edden Hammons, John Ashby and the Free State Ramblers, Tal Farlow, Lonnie Robertson, Dock Boggs, John Morgan Salyer, Ernie Carpenter, Melvin Wine, Stanley Brothers, Rayna/Dan Gellert, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Walter Spencer, The Reverend Jesus Tommy Jarrell + Fred, Eddie Costa | | Sounds Like | That high, lonesome sound. | | Record Label | Independent | | Type of Label | Major |

| About The Water Tower String Band |
The Water Tower String Band, traditional musicians from Portland, Oregon, render bluegrass and its precursor, old-time, in an honest and authentic style. You can enjoy their early American music ranging from mournful ballads and swaying waltzes to raging fiddle tunes and powerful songs. Whether busking on a street corner, playing a show, or just pickin’ on the porch, their infectious love of the music spreads far and wide. Drawing from sources from the Reverend Jesus Tommy Jarrell to Bill Monroe, 78 era recordings to late-night jams, they create hard-driving stringband music that is sure to get the crowd dancing!
We recently self-released our first album, The Squid and the Fiddle. The packaging is printed with environmentally friendly vegetable-based inks on 100% recycled cardboard, by our friends at Stumptown Printers here in Portland. We believe that it is important to minimize our environmental impact and support local businesses! On that note, you can order a copy of our CD through CD Baby, another amazing Portland company, by clicking on the link below!
