Water Tower Bucket Boys

From the moment they stepped on stage the Water Tower Bucket Boys had the audience lapping out of their pail. They loved playing Brighton, they said, and so what if they say that to all the audiences? Who can resist a band who really wants to be there? Add to that their seriously skillful multi-instrumentalism, high-octane playing and tight harmonies and you’ve got a winning combination. Their dynamic music fused old time country and rock in a kind of Jekyll and Hyde struggle for supremacy, while the bottle of bourbon they polished off onstage only seemed to add fuel to an already exciting performance.
