Big Water
Big Water is...


Big Water is a gifted artist with a voice like liquid gold. As a one man show or backed by his band, his homestyle original music is a gift of heart and soul that blends the grass roots of folk, country, and R&B with beautiful melodies and grooving rhythms. With three CD’s, LOOK, LISTEN, AND FEEL (2001), LIFE ON EARTH (2005) and IN THE GARDEN (2007), Big Water has traveled all over the planet and toured across the US and Europe.  From sometimes ‘singing for his supper’, to playing festivals with other artists like Bill Nershi, Scott Law, The Everyone Orchestra, Railroad Earth, Cornmeal and Drew Emmitt, this artist is dedicated to his craft and to the shared experience between performer and audience. Big Water is emerging as an artist to keep your eyes on with his ‘get under your skin and into your heart’ song writing style. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing along on his songs whether you know them or not. Big Water is a feel good artist that washes your spirit, shakes your soul, and soothes the heart.  Big Heart, Big Mind, Big Water.

I am Big Water, Big Water is me.
I am the ocean, the clouds, the lake, the river, pond and creek.
I am the mountains, the valleys, the desert, the animals, plants and trees.
I am Earth. I am Sky. I am Soul.
I am Life. I am Death. I am Truth.
I am Love.
Blessed and honored to be here,
I am all things, all the time.
I am Big Water, Big Water is me.
