BIO
Blackwater Railroad Company
Folk-Americana Dance Rock
Hailing from Seward, Alaska; Blackwater Railroad Company’s wild energy defies expectations. Bordering bluegrass and saxophone driven roots-rock; the band is inspired by the spirit of the 49th state, where endless daylight leads to boundless joy. Tight three-part harmonies and honky-tonk piano punctuate the endless pulsing dance beats and foot-stomping anthems that have established them as a favorite among mountain folk and wandering souls.
With their large body of recorded work and years of international touring, Blackwater sets themselves apart as stewards of the great northern traditions of hard work, shameless jubilation, and love for the open road. Their new album ‘Caravan’ is set to be released this May. Their first full album since ‘A Lovely Place to Die’ released in 2024, ‘Caravan’ ties together the adventurous spirit of Alaska, the joy of dancing on mountaintops, and the heartache of a life in motion.
“Blackwater is roots rock dance music, playing with old bluegrass and rock’n’roll rhythms to make something entirely new.”
