What started out in the year 2000 as a cover band performing in diverse clubs and bars in their hometown of Aschaffenburg, Germany has developed into one of the most beloved studio and touring bands in the republic, lending their formidable musical talents to a number of nationally and internationally known recording artists. Mario Garruccio (drums), Andreas Hillesheim (keyboards) Zorno Kalenda (bass) and Jan Stürmer (guitar) have taken their skills, creativity, and experience as a backing band and combined them with excellent songwriting and arrangement ability. The result is their debut release, “Play Our Songs”, an album as diverse as it is powerful. WATERPROOFʼs sound is influenced by a number of bands from diverse musical styles; from the pop songwriting chops of The Beatles, the brilliant soul/pop/funk stylings of Earth, Wind & Fire, to the beautiful ballad-making prowess of Toto, WATERPROOFʼs sound is hard to categorize, making it all the more fresh and exciting to experience. Unlike most bands who rely on the lead singer as the “face” of the band, WATERPROOF takes a more collective approach to the music making process, collaborating live and in the studio with a number of well known artists and performers from the german music scene. It is this diverse pool of musicians that give WATERPROOF their special sound, allowing the band to experiment and combine different musical elements in their original songs, as well as in the songs they choose to cover. After years of being in the background, Waterproof is ready to take their place front and center on the national - and international - music stage.
