The Waterboys Release New Album
Where The Action Is via Cooking Vinyl
 
Touring North America This Fall



Today, The Waterboys released their new album Where The Action Is through Cooking Vinyl. Stream and purchase the album HERE.
 
The 10-song genre-defying album is a testament of frontman Mike Scott's enduring talents. One of the finest British songwriters of the past four decades, his songs have been covered and/or recorded by artists including Prince, who crafted two different arrangements of Scott's classic "The Whole Of The Moon", Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Steve Earle, and Ellie Goulding, who had a top three hit in 2013 with "How Long Will I Love You."
 
Where The Action Is has been praised by BillboardAssociated PressBrooklyn VeganAll Music, and more including Glide Magazine who said, "One of the most accessible and heartfelt efforts of Mike Scott’s career, [Where The Action Is] will compel repeated (and no doubt regular) listenings immediately upon completion of the first."
 
In support of the new album, The Waterboys will tour North America for the first time since 2015, hitting cities such as Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and more. The tour begins September 17 at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. For more information visit The Waterboys website.
