Big Water (Robert Selvaggio) is a gifted singer/songwriter/artist with a voice like liquid gold. As a one man show or backed by his band, his homestyle original music is a gift of heart and soul that blends the grass roots of folk, country, and R&B with beautiful melodies and grooving rhythms. With three CD’s, LOOK, LISTEN, AND FEEL (2001), LIFE ON EARTH (2005) and IN THE GARDEN (2007), Big Water has traveled all over the planet and toured across the US and Europe.
From sometimes ‘singing for his supper’, to playing festivals with other artists like Bill Nershi, Scott Law, The Everyone Orchestra, Railroad Earth, Cornmeal and Drew Emmitt, this artist is dedicated to his craft and to the shared experience between performer and audience. Big Water is emerging as an artist to keep your eyes on with his ‘get under your skin and into your heart’ song writing style.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing along on his songs whether you know them or not. Big Water is a feel good artist that washes your spirit, shakes your soul, and soothes the heart. Big Heart, Big Mind, Big Water.
About Robert Selvaggio:
Big Water has a BA in Communication from The Ohio State University (’91) and has 20 years of experience professionally teaching recreation and outdoor life to children and adults. Using these experiences as a base, Big Water has found purpose helping kids develop their creative minds for use in their every day lives.
‘Big Water Goes to School’ is an interactive workshop that helps kids learn to express themselves and works to create positive thinking habits and healthy communication. This workshop is a discussion with children about emotions and feelings and works to help them find creative, positive and artistic ways to express them. Workshops are age specific and delicately balanced for each class. To aid in the intimacy of the individual and group interaction, the class is informally gathered as one big group. By leading through example, Big Water shares his music and discusses it as an extension of his own emotions and thoughts. Exercises are designed to empower the individual mind by taking a creative look at our selves and sharing a piece of that with the class. Activities encourage critical thinking, public speaking, and creative expression.
