ABOUT
HYWATER is a rock band hailing from Niagara Falls, NY consisting of Thomas Tedesco (Guitars, vocals), Collin Lacki (Keyboards, vocals), Connor Best (bass, guitars), and Dylan Howard (drums).
Their music boasts a modern-meets-vintage rock sound that draws inspiration from bands such as Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms, and Soul Asylum.
Released in July 2023, their first single, “Up in the Air,” was on the 2024 Grammy Ballot for the category of Best Rock Performance.
The song has received airplay on several radio stations across the country and has been played in rotation on 91.3 WBNY-FM in Buffalo, NY and 97.3 KGRR-FM in Dubuque, IA amongst others.
In December 2023, the band followed up the release of "Up in the Air" with their debut EP, "This Way Up," which was released worldwide to all major streaming platforms and CD.
HYWATER has graced the stage with numerous notable rock acts including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Don Felder (formerly of the Eagles), Marcy Playground, Deep Blue Something, “Monsters of Rock Tour” alum Kingdom Come, and The Tubes.
The band has proven to be a regional favorite with performances at the Emerging Sounds Showcase, sponsored by 91.3 FM The Summit, at the Rialto Theatre in Akron, OH and at the 10th annual Federal Frenzy Festival lineup at Youngstown State University in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
