Concerts & Events

Water Tower is a Los Angeles-based "Punk Rock Bluegrass" band - the first bluegrass band to play the Vans Warped Tour. The acclaimed actor and musician John C. Reilly joined the band as a surprise guest at their raucous, sell-out LA show earlier this year and will take the stage with the quintet again in his Chicago hometown for this special one-night-only engagement.

Water Tower is Kenny Feinstein (founder, lead vocals, guitar, fiddle), Tommy Drinkard (vocals, banjo, guitar), Jesse Blue Eads (vocals, banjo), Taylor Estes (vocals, bass), and John Seltzer (backing vocals, mandolin). The band is fueled by masterful song-crafting, a fiercely DIY approach, and a genre-bending sonic identity that fuses bluegrass/old-time revivalism with a punk rock edge. Their influences range from Bill Monroe & Foghorn Stringband to Rancid & Black Flag. Their energetic live shows are known for incorporating both square dancing & moshing.

Most recently, Water Tower has performed at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Vans Warped Tour, finished a national tour supporting Nick Hexum (311), performed with Sierra Ferrell, and, of course, with John C. Reilly.
