Water Tower is the current moniker of multi-instrumentalist Kenny Feinstein’s musical brainchild, originally founded in 2005 in Portland. While their lineup has evolved over time, fuelled by Feinstein’s masterful song-crafting, fiercely DIY approach, and genre-bending sonic identity, Water Tower have established themselves as a global force to be reckoned with. Pioneers of a new wave of bluegrass and old-time with a distinctly punk rock flair, Water Tower take influences from Foghorn Stringband and Bill Monroe to Rancid and Black Flag, passing them through a unique lens that magnifies the individual strength of their core and auxiliary members while remaining faithful to the revivalist spirit. In 2014, the band moved to LA, where their current lineup of Kenny Feinstein (lead vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin), Tommy Drinkard (banjo, vocals), Joe “Juice” Berglund (standup bass, fiddle, vocals), and Jesse Blue Eads (electric bass, banjo, vocals) can often be found busking while not in the studio or on tour. Since then, Water Tower have built major momentum, releasing a concept album Fly Around (ft. guest vocals from Black Flag’s Ron Reyes), filming 1m+ view viral videos, and catching the eye of A-listers including Katy Perry, whose 2023 NYE party they played at, and Riff Raff, who shouted out “Take Me Back”, the debut single from their upcoming album Live from Los Angeles, to be released later this year. A slew of tour dates in the US and the UK has already been announced.
