Waterford
Liner notes
A gentle midwest folk song about the quiet village of Waterford, Wisconsin, resting along the banks of the Fox River. The lyrics reflect on the historic brick storefronts of Main Street and the enduring spirit of the community after the 1898 fire. Acoustic guitars and a warm vocal melody capture the peaceful flow of the river by Ten Club Park.
