  • One of my favorite performers, Patrick Watson is dramatic but understated; deadly serious but unexpectedly candid and funny. And the music feels so warm, with melodies that haunt and enchant. The singer-pianist and his band put out a new record in 2012, Adventures in Your Own Backyard, and it's one of my favorites of the year.
    In this Sept. 5 concert from the 930 Club in Washington, D.C., Patrick Watson - the name of both the bandleader and his band - came off as loose and particularly playful. Maybe it was because the tour was ending, maybe it was the choice of drink, or maybe it was a bit of both, but the group members seemed to surprise each other and push each other all night.
    I love that sort of back-and-forth that happens on stage, where a phrase catches the ear of one musician and sparks a new idea in another. It's subtle but easy to see, especially in this video, where facial expressions are so evident. On this night at the 9:30 Club, I got a sense of what it might be like to hang out and listen to this great band of friends gathered around in someone's living room, playing extraordinary tunes and having a grand old time. -- BOB BOILEN

    What I love about him he didn't change at all . You look at him in 2012 and he still the same in 2020.
    No Rolex, no Big Golden chain, no flashing things. He stay grounded to earth nothing changed except some grey hairs and a new drummer and his music still touching me.
    He looks like he could be your neighbor.
    e live in the same city and I hope to cross his road one day just to tell him thanks for staying the same and for his touching poetry in his songs.

    This was the first time I saw Patrick Watson, I landed in DC from the UK, with no plans and this was the only gig happening on a Wednesday night in the Capital. My God, this guy blew me away, so much so that I followed his tour trail and watched him at the world live Cafe in Philly 2 days later and then at the Bowery ballroom in NYC on the following Saturday, At every single gig he was interactive with fans and had a drink with me and some other fans in the bar next to the venue in New York. He remains the artist I have seen the most times (9), never disappoints. Absolute gent.
    Also big shout out to Tony Decker and the great lake swimmers, who were also amazing xx

    I always find it amazing / refreshing when the amount of views for (what I deem as) excellent music, such as Patrick Watson, are significantly lower than more popular music, such as Kanye (no disrespect). Either way, to each their own. Patrick Watson Band is a great reminder of how beautiful and complex life is.

      Trevor Hill It's a Bell Curve that in all probability lines up with the IQ one.
      However, there's a place for Kanye - you just have to learn to ignore them and let the great unwashed congregate over there while you enjoy beautiful music.

    • @WallyBrando
      @WallyBrando 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      marshalsea it's fine that you have a taste in music but trying to say that that taste somehow makes you smarter than people with different taste is unbelievably stupid (so is thinking that iq is at all a valid measurement but that's besides the point)

    • @marshalsea
      @marshalsea 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You miss the point. Taste often comes with intellect. You'll be telling me the normal rubbish that music is completely subjective. Also, IQ is a measure that obviously works, there's proven correlation. Careful with starting a flame war...

If you have a chance to see Patrick Watson and his band live, don't ever miss it! It is not only the good music you will hear, it is the great mutual interaction that you will have.You will feel like you are in a one big zeppelin with the band and the whole crowd and heading to the best cloud to live thereafter
