Wow, this sucker is literally right around the corner. Thanks to all for buying tickets. We sold out for the 4th year! Just a reminder that the cruise runs from 7-10 this Saturday from the Clearwater Harbor in Waupaca. You don't need to bring anything but your ticket. For those interested in camping, we have a group site reserved under DOUMA at the Royal Oaks Campground (N4440 Oakland Drive), which is just a couple of miles from the Harbor. Show up any time after 4, check in at the front, and come on back for a pre party. Any questions, email greg@gregwatersmusic.com.

Danny and I will be hosting the 4th Annual Booze Cruise again this summer. The date is July 12th. We have some awesome guests lined up this year!! Tickets are $40 and include your admission onto the riverboat, a 3 hour cruise of the Chain O Lakes, all the wop and beer you can drink, finger foods, and 2 sets of music from the Waters Bros and guests. Tickets go on sale June 1. You can purchase them at all upcoming shows listed on the schedule page. They will also be available through Danny at all Unity shows, and if you can not make it out to any of the shows, email for more info. Please remember, there is limited space on the boat, and tickets have traditionally gone pretty quick.

I'd like to thank everybody for coming out and supporting the music lately. I have been having an absolute blast with The Broad Street Boogie and The Waters Bros and Casey Jones... mainly because of all of you! Special thanks to all who came out to the first couple of outdoor BSB events. Both were pretty sweet... hopefully a sign of the summer to come.

Well, for those who haven't heard, my little boy is 6 months warmed in the oven rigt now. I can't wait for that lil' guy to pop out, so we can start jammin! That's about it for now. Heading down to Miller Park tonight with D and C Dub to hopefully help break the Crew out of their funk. Look for me at 3rd base if Billy Hall is having a bad game!

Latest Listens: Spoon-Ga Ga Ga Ga, Tom Petty-Wildflowers, The Raconteurs-Consoling The Lonely, ALO-Fly Between Falls

What's up everyone? All's well here. Good times last weekend. First time in New London for The Broad Street Boogie. Great turnout. Thanks to Lindsay and the rest of the staff for the hospitality. It was good to see Mark Little and some of the Waupaca crew out. Green Bay - you guys rock! Jimmy Seas was a blast as always. Thanks to the Commonplace boys and The Bar Tab Band for stopping out. Looking forward to a weekend of skiing in the UP, and then back at it. In the meantime, good news... The Broad Street Boogie has been nominated as Wisconsin's best new band by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry. You can find all of the nominations here (scroll down on the page a bit).

Thinkin about recording another album. I'll keep you all posted.

Where else but Wisconsin can you get the absolute beauty of freshly drifted snow combined with that famous brisk winter breeze and a touch of chill to let you know you're still alive.... could you believe some people actually call me a pessimist?!?!?!

3 weeks off with no music... it's been a while since I've experienced that. I'm pretty excited right now. I get a chance to catch up on quite a few things, including some songwriting.

Well, just thought I would say a quick hello as I wait to go out and paint the town. Stay Warm!!!!

2008... wow. Sounds really futuristic. We have a lot of cool shows coming up to help bring in the new year including a few first-time venues. Jimmy Seas got us off to a great start last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came out. We had a great time there as always.

A few weeks ago, Cool Waters got together to record a song which will be featured on an upcoming album to benefit our good friend, Mike Boyle, who was recently diagnosed with MS. We're very honored to be involved with this project, and we're wishing the best for Mike. The five of us had a blast in the studio. It was really great to hang out with everyone. This CD will be available on February 22nd at Waverly Beach at a benefit concert. I'll try to get some details up soon.

No music this weekend. Looking forward to a trip to Lambeau Field on Saturday for a hopeful Packer victory. Go Pack. See you all soon. Happy New Year!

DAMN IT'S COLD!!!! It's funny how we seem to play off Wisconsin winters as no big deal until they creep right up on us. Anyways.... alot of cool stuff going on lately. I had the pleasure of sitting in with my brother and Unity in Libertyville, IL on Thanksgiving night. What a great time that was. Those guys wail!! Anytime boys, anytime. The Broad Street Boogie has been a blast as of late. We have been having a lot of fun at the last few shows. A lot of new tunes, and a lot of new jams. Our next show is downtown Appleton at Mill Creek on December 15. Levi Douma (remember that guy?!?!?) will be opening up the show around 9:30. Looking forward to seeing you out. All of the side projects have been a blast as well (Boog Powell, The Waters Bros and Casey Jones, and The Probes). You can find out more about all of these projects throughout this site. FINALLY, I am running a little holiday special on my latest CD, Play On. All CDs will be just 5 bucks through the end of the year (live shows only). Looking forward to 2008...

Thanks to all for coming down to Octoberfest on Saturday. We had a great afternoon for live music. Also, special thanks to Dan Waters, Rick Rajchel, and Pita from Unity for sitting in on our set. Good jams.
Sorry to those of you who didn't get to purchase a Cool Waters DVD. We ran out on Saturday. However, I should have a few copies with me at all my upcoming shows. Good luck and congrats to Mattie and Hope on their wedding this weekend. I can't wait to see him shakin at the altar (lol).

Great weekend beginning with a Waters Bros and Casey Jones Thursday night at Jimmy Seas. Special thanks to Chunk from Unity for sitting in with us. On to a Manitowoc Friday with the Broad Street Boogie. Good to see some familiar faces there. We hope to be back again this year. Saturday brought on a Fratello's show that put an exclamation point on the weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out. Looking forward to our first show in Stevens Point this Thursday with the Broad Street Boogie. We'll kick off the Clark Place show at 9 sharp. If all of these shows are running a bit too late for you, we'll give you a break next Saturday at Appleton's Octoberfest where we go on at 1:30 (PM!). Don't forget to sign up on the email list below.

Well, the booze cruise was a blast once again! Already looking forward to next year. That week of non-stop downpour and sub 60s temperatures finally gave way to the wrath of the Chief Waupaca Sternwheeler. Thanks to all who attended. This month brings some regularity to the Broad Street Boogie schedule. We will be doing shows in Madison, Oshkosh, Manty, Stevens Point, and wrapping up the month at Appleton's Octoberfest. Hope to see y'all around. Oooh, I almost forgot.... the CWB DVD is almost ready. Check out the preview here.

Hello Hello! It's been a little while since I've checked in. The Broad Street Boogie just finished up a weekend's worth of shows. Good times. Thanks to both Cranky Pats and the Clearwater Harbor for the hospitality. Shane Hardwicke played guitar with us all weekend, and it looks like he may stick around for a while. This Thursday, we will be at Barley and Hops in Oshkosh. From there we will be taking a couple of weeks off to rehearse some more material. Check the schedule for other projects going on this month. I hope your summer is not going as fast as mine. See you around.... oh yeah, sign up on the mailing list at the bottom of this page.

Hey everyone. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new site. The new album is coming along quite nicely and is scheduled for a June 22nd release. Mill Creek will be hosting the release party which will feature an opening set by Mark Little and 2 sets from Greg Waters and the Broad Street Boogie. Continue to check back to the site, as music will be available here also.

Speaking of Broad Strreet Boogie, I'd like to introduce you to the fellas. First off is Sly Joe, an incredible musician from Neenah, WI. This guys knows how to play every instrument known to man and has played in every band ever conceived. Of course, he is also sly.

Mike Underwood is the funky drummer from Oshkosh. You can see him around the valley performing with the Jazz Orgy and a few other projects. Wood sleeps in an oversized conga drum - complete with a custom fruit bar and numerous flip down flat panel monitors.

Mike Cool is a name that probably sounds familiar to Cool Waters Fans. Mike is recently coming off a 3 year sabbatical from music in which he joined the professional video game circuit. Interesting fact: Mike once ate a whole stick of butter.
