WaterWorks, the five of us, Charlotte

WaterWorks started on Charlotte's west side in an old waterworks building, which is where the name comes from. Sax, guitars, bass, vocals, drums. The five of us span thirty years in age and pull from Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Branford Marsalis, and David Byrne.

The rule is just play. Originals get stretched out, standards get reworked, and a night runs three hours across two sets. Everyone writes.

After years of festival stages, breweries, and bars across the Carolinas, the band is tracking its first studio recordings in late 2026.
