ARTIST: Dark Water Rising
TRACK: Brown Skin
BIO:
Dark Water Rising (Rocky Soul)
Chapel Hill, NC :
The band attributes their style of playing and singing to a combination of influences, which range from attending Sunday morning worship services to absorbing the diverse styles and tones of artists like Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, the BeeGees, and Lynrd Skynard. DWR explores various themes of life — love, heartbreak, sacrifice, celebration, despair, pain — all while expressing and evoking sincere emotion on issues affecting their communities. Dark Water Rising has two albums under their belt to date: self-titled release “Dark Water Rising” (2010) and “Grace & Grit: Chapter 1” (2012). The band has performed throughout the East Coast, has garnered considerable radio airplay, appeared on NPR’s “The Story with Dick Gordon” and “The State of Things”, and has earned a Native American Music Award for “Debut Duo or Group of the Year” (2010). With their third release on the way Chapter 2: Walnut Branch, DWR has some big plans in the making!
Dark Water Rising — comprised of powerhouse artists Charly Lowry (vocals/rhythm guitar/percussion), Aaron Locklear (keys/guitar/drums), Corey Locklear (lead guitar), and Zack Hargett (bass) — continues to grow and amaze each time they perform.

EXTRA NOTE: We recently learned about lead singer Charly Lowry’s fight for her life, as she is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. This is a very expensive process, and timing is everything. Any purchase of the band’s music will go a long way to helping Charly’s fight to remain with us and continuing to share her talent with the world. -Thank You
