Mike Scott has been at the helm of The Waterboys since the 1980s, guiding the band through various line-up changes while establishing a formidable reputation for their live performances. Widely regarded as one of the top live acts globally, the current iteration of the band in 2025 showcases the talents of double keyboard players Brother Paul and James Hallawell, along with the solid Irish rhythm section comprising Aongus Ralston on bass and Eamon Ferris on drums.

Their live shows feature a diverse range of music from different eras of The Waterboys’ extensive catalog. They effortlessly transition from the early anthemic sound of “The Whole Of The Moon” and the iconic album “This Is The Sea” to the folk-inspired phase of “Fisherman’s Blues” and the string of successful albums post-2015’s “Modern Blues,” which was recorded in Nashville. The band explores genres like soul, funk, country-rock, and beyond, all underpinned by Scott’s exceptional songwriting skills and a spirit of musical exploration.

While The Waterboys’ songs have found their way into the performances of other artists such as The War On Drugs, Bleachers, U2, The Killers, and Tom Jones, it is undeniable that no one performs Waterboys tracks quite like the band themselves. Currently, they are embarking on a tour to showcase their daring new album “Life, Death And Dennis Hopper” released on Sun Records. This innovative concept album chronicles the life and legacy of the iconic American actor and visionary Dennis Hopper.

Attendees can anticipate a Waterboys concert to be a dynamic experience filled with classics, fresh musical directions, theatrical flair, impromptu moments, and stunning musical displays. The band’s ability to seamlessly blend various musical genres and Scott’s storytelling prowess ensures that each performance is a unique and memorable experience for fans.
