Songs of Water at The Pour House

Songs of Water is an experimental, world, folk rock band from Greensboro, NC. They perform at The Pour House on November 14th!

Songs of Water just returned from a successful tour in Australia. They’re tracking a new album, which will be released in January.

Songs of Water’s distinct and evocative sound carries roots from the most ancient of cultures. This seven-piece ensemble delicately blends instrumentation from across the globe in a uniquely American context. The uncommon use of the hammered dulcimer melodically leads many of the group’s instrumental pieces, followed by the resonance of various acoustic instruments and a brooding foundation of heavy percussion. Layers of orchestral strings and sparse vocals create a cinematic appeal to the otherwise raw expression of musical composition.

Songs of Water has independently released two full-length albums to date which have been met with considerable praise. The band has been featured on NPR’s “The State of Things”, Fiona Richie’s “Thistle & Shamrock”, and WNCW’s Music Mix with Martin Anderson. Reaching across the ocean, music from the band’s sophomore release, “The Sea Has Spoken”, has been aired on the U.K. radio show “Reach On Air,” as well as numerous features in the southeast, nationally & globally.

Songs of Water was named “The Best Independent Band of 2012” by Indie Music Reviewer Magazine.

Currently the band is recording their third full-length album and video documentary.

Songs of Water is Elisa Rose, Michael Pritchard, Stephen Price, Greg Willette, Jon Kliegle, Luke Skaggs and Stephen Roach.
