Special Christopher Holt show announcement!

Last year we filled the Kessler for the release of Across the Milky Way, my fourth solo record, and my first in nearly a decade. As fate would have it, we also captured the night on film. And on October 23, I’m coming back for Beyond the Milky Way — a special event featuring selections from Don’t Give Up on Luck (the concert film), a live solo performance, and one-on-one conversation with my friend Jeffrey Liles.

WATERSHED at Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin today.
Set Times:
Sat. 8/1 - Houdini Plaza - 4:30pm
Sat. 8/1 - Hilton Paper Valley Ballroom - 11:10pm
Sun. 8/2 - Lawrence Lawn Main Stage 2:30pm

Rolling into Mile of Music with three decades of road miles and a Ford Econoline's worth of stories — meet WATERSHED.

This Columbus, Ohio band has been doing this since 1987, and it shows in the best way: hooky, muscular power-pop with the lean snap of a band that cut its teeth on underground rock but never lost the melodic instinct. Think the singalong choruses of Cheap Trick and Big Star run through a heavier, road-worn amp. They broke onto the national scene with 1994's major-label debut Twister, and they've kept grinding ever since — ten albums and a thousand-plus live shows deep, with 2024's Blow It Up Before It Breaks proving they haven't lost a step after more than 30 years in the game.

If you're into bands that treat rock and roll as a lifestyle rather than a phase, Watershed is your Mile 13 must-see — these guys have genuinely done it all, and they still show up ready to play like it's night one.

Catch Watershed live at Mile of Music:
8/1 - Houdini Plaza - 4:30pm
8/1 - Hilton Paper Valley Ballroom - 11:10pm
8/2 - Lawrence Lawn Main Stage 2:30pm
