I used to play in a band (Upstate)I play along with some good brothers one of them was Kaes brother "D he was our drummer.We used to check out Breakwater every chance that we,d get.We use to look up them (i stiil do) there were a lot of GREAT funk bands in Philly back in the 70,s and 80,s.Breakwater in my opinion" were a different type of band though they played commercial songs of that time.They were "again just my opinion one thee BEST BANDS! and to this day they are still KILLIN!Long live the memorie of one of the BADDEST keyboard players that ever lived! Kae Williams jr.!R.I.P.

Wow, music that I grooved to in my youth. The memories come rushing back. I am glad you are back together. Tight band. Great horn section. Welcome back guys. So glad to have you home again.
Admin reply: James - that is what's so cool about music....a song can put you right back where you were when you first grooved to it, and the same emotion is right there- years and years later!!! Thanks for all ur support and we will continue to strive to be the best - The best funk band that a lot of folks never even heard of, so spread the word - BREAKWATER IS BACK!!! And here to stay!!!!
LOVE, PEACE, and SOUL!!! From the BWfamily
