Wisewater

Nashville-based trio Wisewater has earned praise from the likes of Alison Krauss, Rosanne Cash, Mary Gauthier, and others for their lyrical honesty and clarity, infectious melodies, tight harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and deep sense of groove. Members Kate Lee, Forrest O’Connor, and Jim Shirey are three young, positive, worldly artists whose songs blend roots, country, rock, and progressive acoustic music in a unique, refreshing way.

Their debut EP, The Demonstration (November 2014) was hailed as “beautifully poetic” (The Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, NY) and reached #13 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. When they aren’t writing, they’re performing – in 2014, they toured across the country, hitting venues such as The Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman Auditorium (Nashville, TN), The Berklee Performance Center (Boston, MA) and Joe’s Pub (New York, NY). They’ve also shared the stage with Emmylou Harris, John Cowan, Mark O’Connor, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Lloyd (of Foster & Lloyd), and many others.
