A contemporary folk quartet that attempts to harness traditional sounds from around the world. Life Like Water is the creation of multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter, David Matters. It Initially started as a way for Matters to process his turbulent past and navigate an uncertain future, it has since evolved into a communal effort to celebrate the human experience. The group takes its name from a Lao Tzu quote in the Tao Te Ching. One of the poems says, “Life should be lived like water, for water benefits all things and goes against none of them.” With a focus on hypnotic rhythms, elegant vocal harmonies, and melodies that contain flavors of Africa, Ireland, and the Middle East, the music of this eclectic quartet is sure to uplift and inspire. Life Like Water brings all of the catchy familiarity of modern folk music with a deep rooted Appalachian authenticity.
