Biography

One of South Africa’s best loved and most enduring bands, Watershed have clocked numerous platinum and gold albums, as well as awards to their name since their debut single “Indigo Girl” surged up the charts in 2000. Twenty years later, the acoustic rock band is more relevant than ever, so much so that independent European record label On-Stage has signed the band. The German-based label had their eyes on the band since they picked up on Watershed’s 2015 album Watch the Rain, followed their progress into Harbour, and decided to sign them for their next studio album. “It’s great to be back in the European market again,” says lead singer Craig Hinds. “We’ve always had a fantastic fan base in Europe and the more people we can reach with our music the better.” It’s no surprise that the band has made such an impact on the European market, having performed alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry; U2, Peter Gabriel, Beyonce, Queen, Bob Geldof, Roxette, The Corrs and The Cranberries, to name a few. Their honest music and thoughtful lyrics have resonated with people the world over and this latest coup, is testament and recognition to the timelessness and excellence of this home grown South African Brand. The very real struggles of the music and entertainment industry through the Covid pandemic has forced people to get back to basics, the band is no different and has embraced this opportunity to write and record music that they are truly proud of.
