about highwater blues

We are musicians with a passion for blues-based American music. Since 2000, we’ve played a range of Bay Area venues, such as Lou’s Pier 47, where we’ve been appearing regularly since early 2001, The Grant & Green, The Mojo Lounge, Eli's Mile High Club, The Old Princeton Landing, The Warehouse, The Baltic, Skip’s Tavern, JJ's, The Pioneer Saloon, Chris’ Club, Vinnie's, The Fog Bank, The Pleasanton Hotel and The Saloon. We have performed at various fairs and festivals, such as Oakland’s Blues and Art On The Bay (now called Art & Soul), Hayward's Zucchini Festival, Albany's Solano Stroll, San Jose's Tapestry Arts Festival, San Ramon's Art & Wind Festival, Burlingame's Summer Concerts in the Park, Moraga's Music in the Park, Berkeley's 4th of July Festival and the Bernal Heights Fiesta on the Hill.
