Watershed

Craig Hinds was a schoolteacher before Watershed. The band formed in Johannesburg in 1998, signed to EMI the following year, and went platinum with their debut In the Meantime — "Shine on Me", "Letters", and the one everybody knows, "Indigo Girl". A German radio DJ found that song and turned it into a top-ten hit there, which is how a Johannesburg band ended up touring Germany, Austria and Switzerland for years. Wrapped in Stone took the SAMA for Best Pop Album in 2003. Eight albums on, the most recent is Elephant In The Room.

They played the 2025 season on 19 December and return for the Monday before Christmas. A catalogue that deep means three generations on one blanket, all of them knowing more of it than they expect — which is exactly what this afternoon is for.
