With his debut recording as a bandleader, Daniel Thatcher not only assembles an ensemble brimming with exceptional musicianship, but also puts forth his distinct voice as a fresh and thoughtful composer. This release, due out on Shifting Paradigm Records in April 2021, features Daniel's band Waterwheel, a quartet consisting of guitarists John Kregor and Matt Gold, and drummer Devin Drobka. Together they weave a musical tapestry which exemplifies qualities that define Daniel and his bandmates both musically and personally: supportive, creative, self-less, and open.
