BIO
Life Like Water is the creation of David Matters and is a musical response to a life in transition.
From his early days of living in a van and playing punk rock music, to hitchhiking across the country with a banjo strapped on his back, to his current attempt at wedding his family life with the unsteady path of a folk musician, David continues to use his own transience as a source of inspiration for his songwriting.
Together, with his bandmates Megan Drollinger and Charles Furtado, Life Like Water’s music has developed a sound that straddles the edges of contemporary folk and traditional music from around the world.
With a focus on trance-inducing, finger-style guitar, elegant vocal harmonies, and melodies that contain flavors of Africa and the Middle East, the music of this eclectic trio possesses a dark edge with a wonderfully uplifting finish.
Reviews
Ben Stockdale
"Life Like Water has harvested a sound from the mountains of North Carolina that is uniquely suited to satisfy the needs of a world that is waking up. Some of their songs are a still lake, others thunderstorms, but the depth of their message is without a floor. From a dance with the devil to unnamed celestial sounds, this group of compassionate musicians offers fresh richness from the soul of Appalachia."
Grammy-winning mastering technician and owner, Long Gone Sound Studio
Life Like Water makes music that is a healthful elixir for the spirit and a pleasure to the ears. Evocative and tasteful, artful and earthy.
