After meeting at the University of Delaware, Todd Collins and Christian Curry started First Water as an acoustic duo. A year and a CD later, fellow student Glen Stoole approached them after a performance with the idea of joining. The experience the three gained from a busy concert schedule forged a strong group dynamic and well developed set of songs that is showcased on their second CD. En Route has been expertly produced, mixed and recorded by Marc Moss, longtime collaborator and engineer for Skatman Meredith. Rooted in their strong vocal harmonies and solid, tasteful musicianship, First Water's music glorifies and worships God by sharing the joys and struggles of our daily walk in faith. Through their testimony, First Water hopes to relate to listeners in a way that will encourage and challenge all to seek a more complete understanding of Jesus Christ.
