Patrick Watson & Doveman played 92YTribeca (pics)

Patrick Watson has a rare gift of making serious music that isn’t really serious at all. He manages to be playful and ramshackle, drinking what he claimed was a pint glass full of whiskey, and looking like he was mischievously playing his mother’s piano when he knew he wasn’t supposed to, and with posture that would have terrorized piano teachers the world round. He mesmerized a room full of chattering adults at 92YTribeca Friday night, into respectful silence. According to friends at the Bell House for the show the previous night, at one point you could actually hear crickets.
Doveman, who next plays a show at LPR on Thursday night, opened the evening with Thomas Bartlett’s sweet and understated falsetto. More pictures below…
