On the third day of 2010, a nearly impossible dream became a reality — Breakwater reunited. Five of the original eight band members gathered at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia for a homecoming that was 30 years in the making. Breakwater’s dedicated fans had longed for a reunion ever since Splashdown prematurely concluded the band’s story in 1980. “Breakwater is part of the culture in Philadelphia,” explains bassist Steve Green. “There’s an age group of people who grew up with our band.” Playing before a sold-out crowd, Breakwater reassumed their place on the mantle as one of Philadelphia’s most beloved homegrown bands. An audience ranging from early 20-somethings to 60 year-olds experienced what discerning crate diggers and DJs around the world have known for years: when Breakwater splashes down, expect to get soaked by a wave of grooves.

Long before Breakwater doused listeners with their fusion of funk, jazz, and soul, they were young musicians carving a niche in Philadelphia’s fervent music scene. Hailing from Germantown and Mount Airy just 30 minutes from Center City, they started playing together as early as 1970.
