Known for their raw energy and genre-blending sound, Water Tower infuses old-time bluegrass with punk spirit, creating a distinctive and high-octane live experience. With deep roots in traditional American music and an ear for innovation, their performances have captivated fans from backyards to major festivals across the country.

Water Tower’s lineup features tight harmonies, virtuosic string work, and a vibe that’s equal parts front-porch jam and punk rock basement show. Their latest album has garnered critical acclaim for its authenticity and unfiltered passion, earning them a devoted following that spans generations and genres.
Water Tower was founded in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kenny Feinstein. Formerly known as The Water Tower Bucket Boys, the name was changed to Water Tower in 2014 when the band relocated from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles, California. While their lineup has evolved over time, Water Tower have maintained an ongoing reputation as a force to be reckoned with, with a growing horde of loyal fans known as “The Owls”. Water Tower is fueled by Feinstein’s masterful song-crafting, fiercely do-it-yourself approach, and crossover sonic identity that fuses bluegrass/old-time revivalism with a distinctly punk-rock edge. The band’s current lineup consists of Kenny Feinstein, Tommy Drinkard, Taylor Estes, and Jesse Blue Eads, and they are independently managed by Joanne Ledesma. The group divides their time between working on new material, practicing for upcoming shows and festivals, and busking at local freeway off-ramps. Busking has given them a unique platform and opportunity to hone their skills by the side of the road.
