ABOUT

HYWATER is a modern rock band based between Buffalo, NY and Nashville, TN consisting of Thomas Tedesco (Guitars/Vocals) and Collin Lacki (Keyboards/Vocals).

Their music boasts a modern-meets-vintage rock sound that draws inspiration from bands such as Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms, and Foo Fighters.

The band’s knack for creating straightforward and accessible rock music has continued with the release of their single “Hindsight,” which was released worldwide to all major streaming platforms on May 9, 2025.

"Hindsight" was preceded by the release of the song “Up in the Air,” from their debut EP “This Way Up” in 2023. The song was on the 2024 Grammy Ballot for the category of Best Rock Performance.

The songs have been played in rotation on several radio stations across the United States.

Following the release of "Hindsight," the band embarked on the "Next Time" 2025 Summer Tour which culminated in opening for legendary rock band Kansas as direct support at the Rockin' the Downs Concert Series at Batavia Downs in Batavia, NY.

HYWATER has also graced the stage with numerous notable rock acts including:

Don Felder (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist formerly of the Eagles), Smile Empty Soul, Marcy Playground, Deep Blue Something, Fred Mascherinio (Taking Back Sunday), Kingdom Come (“Monsters of Rock Tour” alum), and The Tubes.
