Nick Waterhouse is a modern American singer-songwriter who released his debut album, Time’s All Gone, in 2012. In his music you will hear echoes of things you might think you know, or believe you remember, filtered through the lens of a unique artistic perspective. You will hear rhythm and blues, garage rock, radio soul and wee-small-hours balladry – but reconfigured, made new. In Waterhouse’s music, the time is both now and then. The past is the present is the future.The sound is classic yet unclassifiable.
“We had a joke in the studio,” says Nick Waterhouse. “Some of the guys were like,‘Nick, you’re gonna end up at a press conference like Dylan in ’65: ‘Who’s The Fooler?’ I don’t know, man, maybe it’s you! Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m becoming The Fooler right now…’”The title of the sixth album from the Californian singer-songwriter is more than just the name of one of its dozen immaculate tracks. The Fooler is both a clue and a red herring. The Fooler is the observed and the observer, narrator and subject, truth and lie. The Fooler is the shadow and reflection of a city the artist knows sufficiently well to wander with his eyes closed, and a place which very possibly never even existed. The Fooler is not so much an unreliable narrator as a constantly shifting perspective. The Fooler is the new album by Nick Waterhouse, and it’s a lot.
There was a time, believe it or not, when it felt like dancing in a nightclub to a slinky songlike “Sneakin’” might never be possible again. In New York City at the peak of the pandemic a man from Milwaukee named FREDDY DEBOE helped hold back the tide of gloom with his gleaming tenor saxophone. At outdoor gigs all over town - from Restaurant Row in Manhattan to wooden residential porches in Brooklyn - Freddy blew out notes of hope during some of the weirdest, bleakest months in anyone's memory. Undaunted, Freddy gathered his band in a Brooklyn basement and—drawing upon his years of experience gigging around the world with legends like Sharon Jones, Lee Fields, Charles Bradley, and James Hunter—laid down this timeless groove with an optimistic eye to a dance-party-filled future. With his songs "Savage" and "Remember (The GoodTimes)" and many more, That future is Now!
