And so it is that South Africa\u2019s much-celebrated band \u2013 Watershed are still delighting fans 15 years after their debut single.<\/p>\n<p>The release of their studio album following a 5 year gap, Watch The Rain, has been received with critical acclaim and after the first single spent months in the charts, fans have been waiting in anticipation for the follow-on single just released, The River Song.\u00a0 It offers new sounds featuring the banjo and ukulele \u2013 creating powerful country rock feet-stomping beats.<\/p>\n<p>To support the release of their new album, Watershed has performed more than thirty live gigs across the country. This is testament to the band\u2019s staying power and success. 2016 has already been a big year for the group with their invitation to open for the Roxette Tour and performing to more than 35 000 fans countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter having worked so hard on this album and wanting to give our fans a musical adventure rather than just a new album, we took a risk by introducing a new direction and genre after having a very recognisable Watershed melody for the last fifteen years,\u201d says Watershed front man, Craig Hinds. \u201cAnd it\u2019s wonderful to see our fans respond to it and loving it as much as we do.\u00a0 As the second single, The River Song, picks up radio play, even more fans will succumb to this new Watershed vibe and we will see them at our gigs later this month\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the release of their new single, Watch The Rain will be available for download on all digital platforms, including iTunes this week.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in an unprecedented move rarely seen in South Africa, the band wishes to thank their fans for fifteen years of loyal support by giving away an opportunity for a lucky few to win a private gig.<br \/> Can you imagine \u2013 rolling out a little soiree for friends and family and having Watershed perform live?<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Watershed, how to win and where to pick up your copy of the new album, Watch The Rain, please visit www.watershed.co.za<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter wp-image-23686\" src=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Watershed-3-700x515.jpg\" alt=\"Watershed-3\" width=\"700\" height=\"515\" \/><br \/> Watershed<\/div>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the full article by Guest PR here:<\/strong> Gauteng \u2013 MyPR<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submit and get free press releases here:<\/strong> MyPR Free Press Release.<\/p>\n<p>Click HERE to submit your Johannesburg or Gauteng Press Release.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong> Read more on:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/winning-with-watershed\/\">MyJHB<\/a><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\">MyJHB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join the fun:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\">Add Your event<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mypr.co.za\/submit\">Submit a Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/directory\/\">Add your listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watershed South Africans just love to celebrate!
