Watercourses
”White River/Black Swamp”- They bring a unique blend of progressive and pop elements to their self-styled “Indie-ana Kayak Rock.” Their name reflects an appreciation for the waterways that flow through northeast and central Indiana, grounding their sound in Midwestern roots. With complex arrangements, rich instrumental sections, and memorable melodies, they create music that’s as fluid and unpredictable as the rivers that inspired them.

Support Indy CD & Vinyl!
Musical Family Tree is proud to support our friends at Indy CD & Vinyl—a cornerstone of Indy’s music scene for more than 20 years. Their new all-ages venue, The 808, is finally open, but they still need our help to finish what’s been an enormous labor of love.
What started as a simple renovation turned into a complete rebuild: walls taken down to the studs, all-new electrical and air conditioning, a repaired roof, reconstructed floors, new doors, and brand-new bathrooms. Over a year later, they’ve poured everything into creating a space where our community can gather for live music, art, and connection—but there’s still work left to do.
Please consider donating to their GoFundMe to help Indy CD & Vinyl cross the finish line. Every contribution supports a locally owned, inclusive business that has championed local music, art, and culture for decades. Let’s help them keep the music alive in Broad Ripple!
