Living Waters
Christian Rock • Nashua, NH
Living Waters began in 1976 and did hundreds of concerts up through the mid 90s. Starting in 2010, some of the group began salvaging many of their classics and producing more of the old tunes plus brand new music. The result is an impressive, inspiring catalog of great variety and unique power. The band has earned many awards and one song was blessed by Pope John Paul II. Mark has a Substack entitled "Mark Lajoie of Living Waters" https://marklajoieoflivingwaters.substack.com SITE: http://www.livingwatersband.com EMAIL: livingwaters@livingwatersband.com "Let It Reign" Over 10,000 plays on YouTube "Anna Post Writing" - over 100,000 streams on Spotify Winner of the Radio IMC Awards for Christian Songwriting 2020 AVA Radio #1 Indie Music Song of the Year 2020 "Alive Again" Winner of Best Contemporary Christian EP Award and Winner on Top Ten Countdown for Catholic Music on Adoration Radio "Love's in a Name" Winner of the Platinum Auddy Songwriting Award from uplaya.com "Do What He Tells You to Do" Winner of the 2017 Radio Music Award for Contemporary Christian Song "Peter the Rock" Presented by Ambassador Raymond Flynn to John Paul II "Booze Blues Cruise" Nominated Best Rock Artist at the 2014 Artists in Music Awards Living Waters started as a house-music-ministry group at a MA based retreat center in 1976. Imitating "Lighthouse", who performed in Ann Arbor, MI at the time, "Living Waters" also grew into a full production of music, dance and drama, with full lighting and sound production. Traveling in a converted school bus, LW played across the states, at locations including Yankee Stadium, the World Marriage Encounter Convention, Hartford Civic Center and more. Over the decades they developed a very unique Christian rock style that has been described as "uplifting" and "inspirational". There were many highlights: the song “Peter the Rock” was presented to and blessed by Pope John Paul II at the hands of Ambassador Ray Flynn. LW performed with Dana and John Michael Talbot. LW supported and performed at Covenant House in NYC. Eventually, the group became a faith family, many members marrying other members in the group and having a lot of talented kids. Over recent years LW has achieved amazing success on the Internet. The band has been featured on Windows Media and the ReverbNation main page. After four decades of continuous existence as a faith family, they have achieved their long-term goal of a digital album release, “Refresh” (on ITunes, Amazon and other sites). There is a collection of Christmas classics entitled "The Joy" that is pouring out to refresh hearts and souls. In 2015 LW released an award-winning two-song EP, "Alive Again". In 2016, a collection of recent work entitled "Still Flowing" was released. 2019 brought us the release of our first full-length studio-produced album,"Overflow". We have since released "Instrumental Christmas", several singles and our first live collection, "Classic...Live...Living...Waters". For Christmas 2023, we released singles for "Allelu!" & "Merry Christmas" plus a lyric video for "O Holy Night". In 2024, we have released the EP "Searching For Home", a collection of remixed concert classics and a couple of new originals. Find out what all the excitement is about. Dive in and GET REFRESHED!
