Fuelled by the songs of singer/guitarist Jon Palmer (former Grolsch UK Songwriter of the Year and a published songwriter with Sony) Waterland are part singer/songwriter, part rock and roll, and part contemporary folk.
The new album, Butterfly In Reverse, has received outstanding reviews and the band are currently busy promoting this with live performances and radio slots.
Having started out a duo, Waterland have now evolved into a dynamic acoustic five piece band, encompassing a wealth of individual musical experience.
