Del Water Gap, the musical project founded by Holden Jaffe, is a deeply personal endeavor that reflects his journey as a musician and storyteller. Born and raised in New York City, Jaffe developed a passion for music at a young age, drawing inspiration from the city’s vibrant artistic scene. He adopted the moniker “Del Water Gap” as a nod to a picturesque location in Pennsylvania. Jaffe’s musical style is marked by its emotional depth and introspective lyrics, which are often drawn from his own experiences and observations.
Over the years, Del Water Gap has evolved and matured, exploring themes of love, growth, and the human condition through his distinctive indie folk and pop sound. With a growing discography and a dedicated fan base, Del Water Gap continues to make waves in the music industry, showcasing Jaffe’s undeniable talent as a songwriter and performer.
His new EP is amazing, which includes Quilt of Steam, and I would recommend all the latest singles. “To me, this song is about coming off tour and feeling scrambled as hell and trying to find some balance and stillness in the midst of all that,” Del Water Gap shared in a statement. Thanks to SPD fan Robyn for sending this song to us!
