Songs Of Water

North Carolina’s Songs Of Water Has Been Creating Music Together Since 2002 Yet Their Distinct And Evocative Sound Carries Roots From The Most Ancient Of Cultures. This Seven-Piece Ensemble Delicately Blends Instrumentation From Across The Globe In A Uniquely American Context. The Uncommon Use Of The Hammered Dulcimer Melodically Leads Many Of The Group’s Instrumental Pieces Followed By The Resonance Of Various Acoustic Instruments And A Brooding Foundation Of Heavy Percussion. Layers Of Orchestral Strings And Sparse Vocals Create A Cinematic Appeal To The Otherwise Raw Expression Of Musical Composition. Songs Of Water Has Independently Released Two Full-Length Albums To Date Which Have Been Met With Considerable Praise. The Band Has Been Featured On NPR’s “The State Of Things” Fiona Richie’s “Thistle & Shamrock” And WNCW’s Music Mix With Martin Anderson.
