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

Noah Proudfoot and the Botanicals

"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."
