His vocals are delivered from his soul, and his performance from his heart. A true bluesman, entertainer and musician. David entertains the fans with his "signature" of handing out band monogrammed sunglasses, which combined with his vocal talent, brought the house down this past August at the Fargo Blues Festival. He is a real showman and crowd pleaser, and has earned the respect of the many Mid-West blues musicians, and is known by his peers as a true Mid-West blues legend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jerry's own unique brand of high-energy guitar playing and showmanship has lead to him being called "one of the most creative guitarists of our time".

Bob has a demanding schedule, when entertaining audiences with Deep Water Reunion, you can find him honing his skill with his own group, The Bob Corbit Trio, with Milwaukee keyboardist Major Hamberlin and switching off between drummers Rick Flowers and the late great James Brown's drummer, Clyde Stublefield. Bob's ability to play two saxophones at the same time has earned him recognition as being one of the most entertaining and combined with his high energy will keep your toe tapping for days. We thank Bob for being a part of this Reunion.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "ReedMan" Kenny O, and his licorice stick.

Kenny keeps the crowd happy with his humor and his clarinet makes a Joyful Noise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rod Keyzer One of the great talents of our time. Living in the Mid-West is not conductive to stardom. One of the best kept secrets in music is this horn blower from a small central Wisconsin town. Rod Keyzer is all that a sax player can hope to be. Too many years of experience to bring up here, Rod has swooned the crowds all over Wisconsin. Looking for even more areas for expression, Rod had started The Boilerhouse Blues Band with Deep Water Reunion's Singer David G and Bassist Rick Clark. Rod has also adding the soprano saxophone to the line up. Several times each gig, he will reach down and treat the crowd to a new experience. Very little blues, in the past, have been done on the soprano sax. It takes an unbelievable amount of talent to master the blues on soprano. Stop in and see a real master in action and don't be surprised if he's standing at you table blowin sweet sounds on more of a personal level~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sue Orfield has been playing the tenor saxophone for close to 30 years. She currently lives in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and freelances there in the blues, jazz, rock, and original music scene. She moved to Eau Claire in 2004 from Seattle, Washington, where she was voted "best horn" by the Washington Blues Society in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
