Headwater is heading from Vancouver and into the Shuswap to entertain the crowds on Canada Day.
The band’s roots and folk sound paired with a little pop twist makes for unique and eclectic sets that will get audience members up on their feet and into their dancing groove.
Members of the four-man band play guitars, mandolins, banjos, steel guitars, bass and drums.
Headwater came together in the early 2000s when two of the band members decided to leave their rock- and-roll roots behind and expand to a more acoustic sound.
Two years later, the final two members teamed up and Headwater was born.
The group’s website proclaims the band’s goal of getting people on the floor dancing and singing along with their music.
While their latest album, Push, is a little different than the sound most fans have come to know and appreciate, band members had fun creating it and hope people will enjoy it as much as they do.
This album, says the band, is much more pop-focused with the folk infused as a background sound that still gives it a little kick from the ordinary.
Headwater has been touring Canada and the European circuit, and are happy to make a stop in Blind Bay to help locals celebrate Canada’s birthday.
Hear the band live on the main stage at Centennial Park at 7:30 p.m. July 1.
