The band Watershed on a roof.
Watershed
After coming together as teens in Ohio in 1987, rockers Watershed followed a career trajectory endured by many a young band: build a regional fan base; win a major label contract; get dropped by label for shinier object. But unlike many other bands, they kept releasing excellent music after that major label flirtation (both as Watershed and in other projects like The Dead Shembechlers) and are an institution in their native Columbus. Watershed is playing some tour dates in support of an excellent new album, Blow It Up Before It Breaks, a bracing set of hard power pop and a celebration of rock and roll survival. (Bonus points if you can spot the Warren Zevon reference among the 12 tracks.) With another group of still-vital veteran musicians, Madison’s own Shazy Hade.
