Welcome to the official Dayton Waters website!  
This is the place to find out all you could ever
want to know about your favorite acoustic
performer!!
DAYTON WATERS
For those of you new to the Dayton Waters experience,
there is no way to prepare you for one of his shows
other than to say, "Get Ready!"  He is passionate and
tireless.  He takes you with him on a journey of
memories and music with an intensity seldom found in
a nightclub performance.  His original music is
heart-wrenching, uplifting and even funny at times, but
it is also a window into the soul of a proverbial
poet-warrior.  He prefers to play pubs so he can make
eye contact with each member of the audience, but his
music makes you feel as if you are at a stadium concert
and will captivate you as much as the emotion he so
freely shares while performing.  Every show is a
testament to the life that has brought him before us.  
Get to a show... and GET READY!
NEVER FORGET
Dayton Update!

Hot Springs


Some of you may know that Dayton's 40th birthday is March 4th.  That happens to be
POKER NIGHT at the
Big Chill, so you will find him at a Texas Hold "Em table in the
lower basement where he is not only a player, but is also the Tournament Director.  Fear
not, Dayton plans to celebrate with you at the Chill that very weekend (7th  & 8th), so
come on in and have a blast!!

Also, April 11th and 12th is
Arkansas Derby Weekend and sees the return of Grant Pierson
to the Big Chill.  If you've seen the
Pierson Waters Project, you know what the hubbub is
all about.  If you haven't, you have been missing out BIG TIME!  No better weekend to
catch their show than Derby Weekend at the Chill!!





John Dean is back where he began as a bar manager, but now he is co-owner of Player's in
Hot Springs!  Catch Dayton there every Sunday evening during race meet!  So, when
you're done at
Oaklawn Race Track, just mosey across the street for a cool one and some
Dayton Waters!

Texarkana

On the 3rd Friday of any month, head out I-30 West to the Nash exit and go north for a few
miles.  Watch the left side of the road for a sign that says something about Dayton Waters
and you are at
Lee's Catfish.  As long as the weather is right, Dayton will be playing on the
picturesque patio whereupon you can get the finest catfish dinner in a three state area.  If
the weather is not so perfect, never fear, Dayton will be inside for your Texark fix of the
hottest live music show around!

Dardenelle

Almost two years ago, Dayton met pro golf legend John Daly.  He happened to be at a club
where Dayton was playing that night and they hit it off immediately.  Since then, Dayton
has become fast friends with John's brother,
Jamie who, along with Cathy Daly, runs
Daly's Downtown on Front Street in Dardenelle.  This place is classy, yet not overstated.  
The food is superb and the atmosphere is portrays the attitude the Dalys display in their
everyday lives: Everyone is welcome, come on in and have a great time!  Dayton also has
an open invitation to perform at the annual
John Daly Benefit Golf Tournament for Boy's
and Girl's Clubs
every spring.  This year he shared the stage with country music sensation
Steve Azar and guitarist Mark Brian of Hootie and the Blowfish.  It was a blowout of a
time and you should make plans to support this great cause next Spring.

Hey Er'body!! Dayton here!  

Gotta take a quick second to tell you about a little place I discovered recently here
in Hot Springs.  It's a real life
SODA FOUNTAIN like we used to have in the
pharmacies of the good old days (yes, I'm old enough to remember those).  It's
called
Gee Whilliker's.  It's a family owned and operated establishment with live
music
and phenomenal atmosphere.  And, oh by the way, the food is fantastic!  
It's a great place to bring the entire family - babies to the grands - they'll LOVE
Gee Whillikers.  When you go in there, tell Heath that Dayton Waters sent ya.  It
won't help your tab, but it'll let him know that the word is out through the DW
fanbase.  Oh yeah, almost forgot.  Take the bypass to Airport Road and go east.  
Watch for it on the left in just a couple blocks.  Follow this logo to their website
and you'll find a map, menu, and everything you ever wanted to know about soda
fountains!  I'm countin' on ya - let me know how your experience was there - these
seem like real good folks who run this place.   Golly
Gee Whillikers, you can't go
wrong with this one!
