“When Rivers Meet’s set can only be described as life affirming.

The live album was taken from recordings and footage from three concerts during WRM’s 17-date April and May 2022 headline UK tour.
“Our first-ever headline tour was amazing,” says WRM’s lead singer Grace Bond. “We wanted to capture some of the incredible moments. We’ve always enjoyed listened to and watching live recordings, and it’s been a dream of ours to create our very own.”
The live album features
Grace Bond (vocals, mandolin, fiddle) and
Aaron Bond (vocals, guitar) accompanied by
Roger Inniss (bass) and
James Fox (drums, keys, backing vocals). Together, the four talented musicians created an exciting and powerful stage performance in front of thousands of concert goers across the UK.
The live album features songs taken from WRMs first two albums, We Fly Free and Saving Grace, plus songs from their two EPs, The Uprising, and Innocence of Youth.
The live album includes approximately sixty minutes of performance footage. The DVD edition includes bonus features of crowd interactions and reactions.
