When Rivers Meet (or WRM)[1] is an English blues / rock band formed in 2016 in Essex, England by husband and wife duo, Grace and Aaron Bond.
[11][12] Tracks from their album We Fly Free were playlisted and featured on the Planet Rock national digital radio station in 2020 and 2021,[9][11] and the band also received airplay on BBC Radio 2's The Rock Show with Johnnie Walker[8][13][14] and The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews[15] In March 2021, it was announced that When Rivers Meet would be back on tour supporting the King King blues band's UK tour, beginning in October 2021.
[12][16][17][18] In October 2020, Paul H. Birch, writing for RAMzine summed-up his opinion of the band, stating: "Essentially, 4/4 boogie blues with folk rock ambiance, a modern-day female-fronted Medicine Head perhaps,"[14] adding that "One might think that over a series of songs things could get repetitive but there's a compelling intimacy that overcomes that, and it would be interesting where that leads them creatively in the future.
"[19] In November 2020, Henry Yates in Classic Rock magazine, writing about the album We Fly Free stated that: "[This] British husband-and-wife are heavy enough to get your attention and quirky enough to hold it, with songs that give you a kicking but leave a boot-print on your heart.
[1] They met at Bond's local pub in Downham Market, where Holmes had just started working as a bar steward,[5][23] and now live in the coastal town of Brightlingsea, Essex, near Colchester.
