Strong Water

Like a good shot of its namesake, Strong Water is smooth with a bite. The Americana/folk band first formed in 2013 as a duo on a Virginia university campus before settling into its current 3-piece, of guitar, fiddle, and upright bass with male and female leading vocals and harmonies. After the release of their third full length album, The Hills, they took a hiatus prompted by the challenges of the pandemic and a serendipitous journey to Ireland for their lead singer. But now, Strong Water is back on the scene with a renewed passion for playing live. With the frontman's return to Harrisonburg, they're is hitting the road and the studio, ready to continue their musical odyssey. Known for their reputation as a "party all night" group unafraid to push the boundaries of traditional folk instruments, Strong Water is poised to bring their infectious energy to stages across VA and beyond for 2024.
