Canadian Singer and Composer Patrick Watson Features Other Voices, While Recovering His Own


Listen Later

Canadian singer and composer Patrick Watson has been making records for almost a quarter century – with a cinematic blend of indie rock, cabaret pop, and chamber music that has made him a favorite of film directors and music supervisors.  His latest record, Uh Oh, is the result of a pretty big uh-oh moment for a singer: Watson lost his voice. He thought it was broken forever, and wrote a collection of songs and collaborations with other people - voices that he wanted to hear: among them the artists Charlotte Cardin, La Force, Martha Wainwright, and Klô Pelgag. Luckily, Watson managed to get his voice back;  he performs in-studio with his frequent collaborator, the singer/songwriter La Force.

Set List: 1. Lonely Nights 2. Peter and the Wolf 3. House on Fire
