The Blackwater Blues Band are a powerhouse Irish blues-rock group based in County Waterford, Ireland. Renowned for their energetic live shows, the four-piece blends contemporary blues shuffles with gritty, rock-infused soul.

They’ll shake your booty, rattle your soul, and send you home wishing you were as badass as the music!

​

Fronted by Hawk, whose vocals burn with raw emotion, and featuring guitar virtuoso Malcolm Scott, whose credits include collaborations with Pete Brown (Cream), Elliott Randall (Steely Dan), and Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones).

​

Bassist Liam Shanley and drummer Kevin Power lay down a groove that’s deep, danceable, and impossible to resist.

​

They occasionally host Kieran Eaton on sax and other guest musicians for a live show packed with fire, chemistry, and unforgettable

blues rock energy.

​

If rhythm and blues with a twist of rock is your thing, then this is for you. As they say about themselves “We’re an Irish band playing the best of Blues Rock as it's meant to be played!
