Dry the River are an English folk rock band formed in East London, 2009.

The band formed in Stratford in 2009, they played their first headline show at the Luminaire in Kilburn in April 2010. Since this time the band have toured extensively in the United Kingdom, Europe, and have branched out considerably far to include North America, Spain and elsewhere in their worldwide tours. After two EPs and significant early radio support from BBC Introducing, the band signed to Transgressive Records in 2010. They released their debut single, "No Rest", in March 2011.

Their subsequent run of UK festivals in 2011 included Glastonbury, Great Escape, iTunes Festival, Latitude, Summer Sundae, Green Man, Bestival, and Reading and Leeds. They appeared on line-ups at a number of major festivals across Europe in 2012, such as Underage Festival, 2000 Trees, and Open'er Festival, as well as North American festivals such as Sasquatch Festival, Lollapalooza 2012, and the Austin City Limits Festival. They were on the long list on the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll. Paul Lester compared them in The Guardian to fellow Londoners Mumford & Sons, commenting that the group "offer a glimpse of the pastoral with their infectious semi-acoustic ditties".[1]

They recorded their debut album, Shallow Bed on analogue in Bridgeport, Connecticut with producer Peter Katis. Katis had previously worked with Interpol, Jónsi and The National.[2] Shallow Bed was released in the UK on 5 March 2012, and in the US on 17 April 2012. The band played a lot of festival shows throughout Europe during Summer 2012, e.g. Roskilde Festival. An acoustic version of their first album "Shallow Bed" has been recorded, and is being released by download only on the 17 December 2012.[3] They plan to get in the studio for the 2nd album in January 2013.[4] The band are managed by Stephen Budd and Al Lavelle.
