At the beginning of March we premiered the first single, “Tracy’s Waters” (above), from Canadian songster Patrick Watson‘s new record, Wooden Arms – out in the US May 5th on Secret City Records. The release follows Watson’s last album, Close to Paradise, which won the 2007 Polaris Prize for best Canadian album of the year.
The day before that album drops, Patrick Watson and band will play a Monday, May 4th show at NYC’s City Winery, before heading out for early summer dates in North America and Europe. Tickets for the Winery show are on sale now.
The venue has a steady schedule of upcoming music events – including “Philip Glass with Patti Smith: Footnote to Howl, The Poet Speaks, Homage to Allen Ginsberg” on April 5th and Alejandro Escovedo & Joseph Arthur on June 18th. On March 4th, the Winery hosted Rufus Wainwright, who paired with special guest David Byrne on The Talking Heads’ “Road to Nowhere”.
Watson’s fellow Canadians and Secret City labelmates Human Highway (Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn) are set to visit NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday, March 25th, with The Magic and Cotton Jones opening. Tickets are on sale.
