The Waterboys are a British rock band formed in London in 1983, fronted by Scottish musician Mike Scott. They are best known for their blend of rock, folk, and Celtic influences, often characterized by anthemic choruses and poetic lyrics. In 2002, The Waterboys were at a stage in their career where they were exploring more explicitly spiritual and world music-influenced sounds, following a period of relative quiet in the late 1990s.
