Water Seed
It is our honor and privilege to offer this project to you. We have been hard at work trying to present the very best of who we are to all of our faithful fans and family. "Early for the Future" is a cd that was recorded at the legendary Apache Café in Atlanta, Ga. on August 17, 2007. This project is very special to us. It was never intended to be released to the public, but after several emails and request for copies of this recording we decided to release it.
"Early for the Future" is a great example of our live show. This piece of work is raw, uncut and true to the spirit of live performers. It's over an hour of live music that gives the listener sense of actually being at The Apache Café on this Friday night in August.
Being victims of Hurricane Katrina we thank all of you for helping us get our feet back on the ground. This cd is dedicated to all our fans old and new who have supported us and been a life raft after the storm. Special thanks to SoulTracks for giving us this opportunity to reach out.
Keep the funk alive,
Water Seed

Water Seed was only months away from completing their second CD when tragedy struck. Hurricane Katrina displaced all the members of this young band and totally devastated all property, lifestyle and livelihood that Water Seed spent years building. The band found a home in Atlanta Georgia and found a way to move forward. Like all those affected, Water Seed got back to the business of making and expressing themselves through their music.
There is a smoldering fire in Atlanta and its name is Water Seed. Water Seed is a band dedicated to recreating the true American soul/funk band. In the tradition of Earth, Wind and Fire, Commodores, Rufus and Chaka, and Maze, Water Seed has the marketability to open the doors to a sound that everyone will soon be after.
In August 2006 Water Seed let loose with their first EP, Two Words. Independently released, the seven track EP has generated a ground swelling buzz to the tune of a 6,500 units sold in the first 6 months. This co-ed ensemble possesses a brotherly and sisterly love that vibrates through each and every one of their songs. They have been referred to as a band that represents harmony in a way that most bands try to achieve", and the band to keep an eye on". Water Seed has a live show like no other. You can take the musician out of New Orleans, but you can't take New Orleans out of the musician. It is no wonder this band is always in high demand. There has never been a show performed by Water Seed without the band breaking into those New Orleans street beats that we all love. Crowds can't get enough of Water Seed's live energy.
This good looking young band is spearheading the new generation of the rebirth of the classic funk soul band by presenting their third live album "Early For The Future" . "Early For The Future" creates a fusion of funk and soul that goes beyond novel trends and that has everything to do with their cultural upbringing. The band offers a high dose of rhythms, sensuality and pleasure on each of their tracks.
Water Seed is anything but a typical funk, Jazz soul act. The 8 songs that make up their live album "Early For The Future" introduces Water Seed as a group who have fused their musical origins of drums, flute, keys, guitar, bass, percussion and horns to that of a mix with Louisiana music influences. Resulting in a concoction of jazz, funk, blues, neo soul rhythms that any audience can feel by the first note.
