#241: Blue Ridge Rock Festival Rising Talent, Watersdeep!

Another DC area band playing Blue Ridge Rock Fest? YES PLEASE!!!! Today I bring to you a band playing day 4 of the festival, Watersdeep!

Watersdeep is a five piece emotional pop punk/post hardcore band from the Washington D.C. area. The band consists of Gabe Jaar on lead vocals, Rohan Enamandra on guitar and backing vocals, Brandon Jones on guitar, Clare Raiguel on bass guitar, and Max Gilder on drums.

Gabe Jaar and John Martin originally started Watersdeep as an acoustic duo, playing covers on their local college radio. After a few months of writing music and playing live radio gigs and open mic nights around their college campus, Gabe and John made their way into the local music scene by playing local venues all across the DMV. Their debut EP Sunken Feelings came out on December 21st, 2016. Around the summer of 2017, John stepped down as the lead vocalist for Watersdeep, leaving Gabe to continue Watersdeep as a solo acoustic project.

In 2018, Rohan stepped up as a fill in bassist, which quickly led to his permanent position in the band. As Gabe and Rohan recruited the rest of Watersdeep's members, Rohan switched to guitar. The group released their third studio release, titled "Trust Issues", in January 2020.

Their latest release, "The Worst Is Behind Us" is an absolute banger, and is a definite must listen. The group now boasts two 7 string guitars, expanding upon their original vision with room for plenty of musical experimentation.
