Nick Waterhouse

Date: Saturday, July 28, 2012Time: 6:00–9:00 p.m.
Vintage R & B revivalist Nick Waterhouse combines an uncanny old-school sensibility with a charged, contemporary style. His muse is the over-modulated sound of 60s R & B, and his take on such a time-honored tradition evokes the back-alley thrill of New Orleans, Detroit, and Memphis in their heyday. Waterhouse's live performances, backed by the Tarots, thrill with his pure and undeniably raw and rhythmic take on American music. They'll perform songs from his forthcoming full-length album, Time's All Gone, the follow up to his wildly successful self-produced 45 recordSome Place, which sold out almost instantly. 

The 
Chicago Tribune praised his SXSW performance: "Also terrific: Nick Waterhouse. With the face of an engineering student and the voice of a soul assassin, Waterhouse sounded anything but retro as he channeled the unvarnished energy and drive of 60s R & B. He was backed by three singers, a swinging rhythm section and a saxophone blurting mad commentary."

Watch Nick perform "Some Place" from his debut album 
Time's All Gone from the Urban Outfitters Music Video Series (2012, Innovative Leisure):
