LineUp

Oregon-based songwriter Anna Tivel explores existential themes in her album "Living Thing," created with producer Shane Leonard. Known for introspective lyrics, her music blends rhythm and melody, capturing human resilience.
Edinburgh-born Mike Scott formed the Waterboys in London in the '80s, blending soulful rock, folk, and Celtic sounds. Known for "The Whole of the Moon," their work spans genres, with acclaimed albums like *This Is the Sea* and *Fisherman's Blues*. Frequent collaborator Steve Wickham and Scott's dynamic line-up changes define their sound evolution. The band explored W.B. Yeats' poetry in 2011, and in 2022, *All Souls Hill* saw them dive into hip-hop influences.

The Waterboys Overview

The Waterboys have been led by Scottish singer and guitarist Mike Scott since the 1980s and have evolved through many line-ups, winning a fearsome concert reputation along the way.

Indisputably one of the best live bands in the world, the 2025 group features double keyboard players Brother Paul from Memphis and James Hallawell from Cornwall, and is grounded by killer Irish rhythm section Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums).

Musical Evolution

They reconfigure music from all stages of the band's career, from the early big music of The Whole Of The Moon and classic album This Is The Sea through the roots-inspired Fisherman's Blues era and the run of in-form records that have poured out since 2015's Nashville-recorded Modern Blues, taking in soul, funk, country-rock and any other kind of music they care to play - and always rooted in Scott's songwriting mastery and a sense of exploration.

Waterboys songs feature in the current or recent live sets of The War On Drugs, Bleachers, U2, The Killers, Tom Jones and many other acts but no one plays Waterboys quite like The Waterboys themselves.

Current Tour and Album

This year the band is touring their audacious new album on Sun records, Life, Death And Dennis Hopper, a brilliant concept record which tells the story of the maverick American actor and trailblazer. Audiences can expect Waterboys classics, new directions, drama, improvisation and musical fireworks.
