The Waterboys are a rock band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Known for their constantly evolving sound, the band blends rock, folk, Celtic music, and experimental influences, moving across styles from early post-punk and art rock to folk rock and Americana-influenced songwriting. Mike Scott has remained the only constant member throughout the band’s long history, while a rotating lineup of musicians has contributed to their changing sound. The Waterboys are widely recognised for influential albums such as *This Is the Sea* and *Fisherman’s Blues*, and for songs like “The Whole of the Moon,” which helped define their reputation for poetic lyrics and expansive, emotional music.
