Backstory:
Set against the backdrop of a small coastal town in California, Thirsty Water was born. Four friends, deeply in love with the ocean and surfing, found their shared passion for music. They started as a garage band, spending countless nights on the beach with their instruments and bonfire, creating soundtracks to their exhilarating surfing experiences. With lead vocalist and guitarist Jimmy ‘Ocean’ Howe, drummer Sandy ‘Tide’ Mitchell, bassist Eric ‘Swell’ Nelson, and keyboardist Mike ‘Coral’ Foster, the band was complete. Thirsty Water’s unique sound quickly caught the attention of local surfers and beach-goers, and from there, it reverberated across county lines, state borders, and eventually, the globe.
Genre:
Thirsty Water’s music is a refreshing blend of Indie Rock and Surf Music, with a touch of Folk and Psychedelic Rock. Their tracks perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the sea, the freedom of surfing, and the ethereal beauty of coastal living.
Title:
“Wave of Love”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Riding on the crest of a wave, [C] under the azure sky,
[D] Your love is like the ocean, [C] deep, wild and high.
[G] Footprints in the sand, [C] laughter in the air,
[D] Your smile is the sunshine, [C] nothing else can compare.
(Chorus)
[G] Wave of love, [C] it’s a wave of love,
[D] Crashing over me, [C] under the stars above.
[G] Wave of love, [C] it’s a wave of love,
[D] Drowning in the sea, [C] but it’s all I’m dreaming of.
(Verse 2)
[G] Sunset on the horizon, [C] painting the sky,
[D] Your kiss is the twilight, [C] as the day waves goodbye.
[G] Crashing waves in the moonlight, [C] whispers of the night,
[D] You’re the tide that pulls me, [C] feels so right.
(Chorus)
[G] Wave of love, [C] it’s a wave of love,
[D] Washing over me, [C] under the stars above.
[G] Wave of love, [C] it’s a wave of love,
[D] Sinking in the sea, [C] but it’s all I’m dreaming of.

Our favorite fan is Lisa ‘Seashell’ Johnson. Lisa has been with the band since our humble beginnings. She was there at our first beach bonfire gig, shouting lyrics and dancing barefoot in the sand. Her support and enthusiasm have never wavered.
