Dayton Waters, Intense 12-String Classic Rock For those of you new to the Dayton Waters experience, there is no way to prepare you for one of his shows other than to say, "Get Ready!" He is passionate and tireless. He takes you with him on a journey of memories and music with an intensity seldom found in a nightclub performance. His original music is heart-wrenching, uplifting and even funny at times, but it is also a window into the soul of a proverbial poet-warrior. He prefers to play pubs so he can make eye contact with each member of the audience, but his music makes you feel as if you are at a stadium concert and will captivate you as much as the emotion he so freely shares while performing. Every show is a testament to the life that has brought him before us. Get to a show... and GET READY!

He is an interesting man, so be sure and read his rants and his backstory on the song Bleed... you will be touched by his honesty (in Bleed) and his humor (in his rants). He is a veteran and a conservative and a poet. He does have a following, one of whom is me. I just wish I had the time to go hear him again.
I’d like to hear him, but can’t get his tunes to work on his MySpace page and can’t find any music on his website. Nothing on YouTube either. He might self promote a bit better. Check out Monte Montgomery when you get a chance.
He only has 4 songs you can hear on his web page.. click on tunes, then backstory/lyrics and then slide down to see songs posted.. to hear them, you click on lyrics/chords and it will autoplay. Some people may not be able to hear.. IDK, but hopefully, you can read. I have to say that the music he has written and what you experience when live are two COMPLETELY different things! My son is about to join the Marines and has ordered a CD..
