Headwater is a band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Forming in North Vancouver in with musicians Chris Olson, Jonas Shandel and Matt Bryant, Olson left the group early on due to artistic differences to begin a solo career. Since then, Bryant and Shandel (as lead singers and songwriters) have gone on to play as featured acts in festivals such as the TD Canada Trust Vancouver International Jazz Festival in 2008[1] and Merritt Mountain Music Festival in 2007.[2]
Their debut studio album in 2006, My Old Friend, sold four-thousand copies in B.C. in its first sixteen months. Their follow-up album, Lay You Down, was released in 2008. Songs from both albums are in regular rotation nationally on the CBC.[3]
Singer-songwriter Matt Bryant is the son of bassist Ab Bryant, who played for Chilliwack and Headpins.
