November 8, 2026 7:30PM Breakwater at City Winery Philly

 

Breakwater

City Winery Philadelphia presents Breakwater live on November 8th at 7:30pm.

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.

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.
