The Music From Deadwater
Deadwater is the moniker of alt-rock guitarist/songwriter Jonny Rivers. From his basement in Virginia, he creates emotionally devastating recordings, exploring mental health, addiction, and struggle in startling detail. Since emerging in late 2023, he has built an impressive repertoire of guitar-driven rock recordings while endearing himself to a small but devoted group of fans.
Cryptic and mysterious
Cryptic and mysterious, Deadwater’s songwriting has a powerful allure. Drawing from his own real-life experiences, he writes with diary-like honesty, resulting in deeply personal songs that retain a universal message. He’s largely indebted to grunge heroes of the 90’s, but his distinct perspective and crafty, lo-fi productions give his songs a vital, distinctively modern sound.
Deadwater is proving that underground rock can still thrive in an increasingly digital world. His songs are windows into his mind – anthems for outcasts and loners everywhere. With a string of new releases expected for this year and beyond, he’s on his way to making a meaningful impact on modern grunge.
debut album with all original material came out recently on December 21st.
