When Rivers Meet (or WRM) The duo began touring the UK in their
VW camper van in 2019, including a performance at the Great British Rock and Blues Festival in
Skegness. However, in spring 2020 when the
COVID-19 pandemic hit the UK and restrictions were imposed, they were forced to give up on the tour. In November 2020 they brought out their debut album,
We Fly Free. On the album, Grace Bond performed vocals, mandolin and violin; Aaron Bond performed vocals and guitar (including
slide guitar); and the duo were backed by Adam Bowers on bass, drums, organ and piano, and Robin G. Breeze on bass, organ and piano. Adam Bowers also produced the album, at The Boathouse Studio in rural
Suffolk. Tracks from their album
We Fly Free were playlisted and featured on the
Planet Rock national digital radio station in 2020 and 2021, and the band also received airplay on
BBC Radio 2's
The Rock Show with Johnnie Walker and
The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews 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. == Reception ==
