Good Day Noir Family,
Water Street’s latest single, “Overdue,” grabs you from the first note with an energizing guitar riff that paves the way for what’s to come.

As the song transitions into the verse, the instrumentation steps back, allowing the singer’s intense voice to take center stage, drawing out the refined melody with a striking sense of emotion.
The vocal timbre has a familiar warmth, reminiscent of Adam Duritz from Counting Crows, while the composition itself carries a distinct ’80s influence, particularly in the guitar tones.
The song is highly catchy, making it a perfect fit for a road trip soundtrack, evoking images of long drives and open highways.
It’s clear that Water Street consists of seasoned musicians who bring a wealth of experience to their songwriting.
The artistic and melodic choices are sophisticated, holding your attention from start to finish.
A standout moment occurs after minute 3:10, where the bridge strips back to just vocals and a hand clap effect, creating a perfect pause before launching into the grand finale.
“Overdue” is a delightful discovery that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a fresh yet nostalgic rock vibe.

Energizing!
Inspired by the northwest hills of NJ in the shadow of the Appalachian Ridge, Water Street creates a new version Indie-Americana, mixing soulful acoustic melodies with rugged rock and roll bursts, enticing sax riffs, and a driving rhythm section with some hints of funk which combine to create a uniquely new, Pop/Americana/Roots sound.
The band first adopted the name Water Street from the location where the band would meet to practice, write and hone their craft. They took the name as a nod to their roots, reflecting the close sense of community bonding them to their town, each other, and their work.
The band released their first full-length album “Waiting for Martin,” in 2016 and followed with “Dear You,” a six-track EP in 2018. They have appeared on the pages of Vents Magazine and The Indie Music Review, and played hundreds of shows across the region. The group competed in and won Dorney Park’s first Battle of the Bands in 2016, earning them a spot on one of Musikfest’s main stages in Bethlehem, PA later that year.
Fast forwarding to the 2020s, the band evolves to a whole new level with the recent addition of Julia Aiello on vocals and three powerhouse musicians – bassist Brendon Gardner, electric guitarist Eddie Woodcock and pianist/keyboardist Alex Kerssen. While Dave’s lyrics on Water Street’s 2022 album All We Tried to Be are inspired by classic folk songwriting, the overall vibe is decidedly less Americana and more pop/rock. The current lineup has already performed at numerous venues in NYC and Boston, at Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA and Sourland Music Festival in Ringoes, NJ – and is booked solid through winter 2024.
