Patrick Watson and Greg Gibson at The Casbah

by GG on May 13, 2010

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
