At the heart of waterstreet are 3 good friends who have been playing original and cover tunes since the turn of the century!

Blues. Swing. Classic Rock. Pop. Tango.

Rob Deyman, Paul Sapounzi and Silvia Di Donato. Recently added to the waterstreet vibe is harmonica player (Mississippi) Pete Temple, drummers like "Magic" Lukasiewicz, Domenic Di Nino, and guest musicians. Together they produce a high energy blues experience.

Rob Deyman: Left-handed guitar(s) / vocals Rob started in the Winnipeg Folk/Blues scene playing with local legends Big Dave McLean and Gord Kidder. Influences range from T-Bone Walker, Mel Brown, Hendrix, Freddie and BB King, SRV, and Miles Davis. Rob was the catalyst for the formation of waterstreet. His blues-tinged leads provide a soulful musical direction for the band. He delivers a vintage blues sound through a variety of Fender amps coupled with a stable of classic blues guitars.

Paul Sapounzi: Bass / Vocals Paul is a big British Rock fan who plays a mean vintage Hofner and RIC through a 67Vox. In a blues situation the Hofner adds a jazzy wood sound to the mix while the RIC provides the tooth and definition required for the Chicago and funkier styles. Paul’s vocals are a cross between the urban blues of Colin James and the melody and rawness of early McCartney. Far and away the best sense of humour on the stage and shares his talent for fun with the audience.

Silvia Di Donato: Keyboards / vocals loves jazz, blues and tin pan styles. She has been influenced by Professor Longhair, Dr. John, and Johnnie Johnson to name a few. She produces fabulous Nord Electro3 sounds to suit the musical setting. Silvia's vocals command the attention of any crowd and have become a featured component of waterstreet's sound. She easily covers styles as diverse as Billie Holiday, Susan Tedeschi, Duffy, Diana Krall, and SRV.
