2007 Polaris Music Prize winner, Patrick Watson, and his band The Wooden Arms, play The Casbah on Monday, May 24th. I am incredibly excited and honored to open this show – I’ve been singing Patrick’s songs for years now, and his band is one of the best in the business. Tickets are available for $13 in advance through www.casbahmusic.com or $15 at the door.
“[Patrick Watson’s] Wooden Arms is a beautiful collection of songs that bring together delicate pop, ethereal atmosphere and a minimalist sense of composition. Watson’s stunning, romantic voice soars above the guitars and highly orchestrated melodies amid a driving pulse of precise piano work. Meanwhile, Kuster’s clattering percussion is crisply performed on snare drums, marimbas and household pots turned upside-down. It’s an inspired sound from a great young artist. ” – NPR’s Bob Boilen
