Bio
Raised by pentecostal grifters in a trailer-park in Coal Valley, Illinois, Hellwater offer our own original, irreverent, raunchy and rowdy take on traditional American music. From hearlfelt tear-in-your-beer honky tonk travesties, half-assed bluegrass and tub-thumping jug band & country blues tunes, the HillBilly hounds of Hellwater seek to bring joy and happiness to an often dark and joyless word. ~ JL
While the list of each indiviual band memeber' influences would be too diverse and many to mention, as a band we draw inspiration from the tradional and underground country and americana music field.
Hellwater has had the good fortune to play shows with some outstanding nationally touring bands including William Elliot Whitmore, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, .357 String Band, The Hooten Hollers, James Leg from Black Diamond Heavies, Chicago Farmer, HighLonesome and Owen Mays and DogBite Harris.
