The members of the band Beauwater like to serve up rock and roll with a large side order of the blues.

"I always relate everything back to the blues," said Jonathon Reid, the band's singer and guitarist.

"Even some folk songs, that's where it all comes from."

The band worked with producer Chris Kirby on the their second album  "Lovers, Fools and Kings."
