Who: Patrick Watson, Thus Owls
Where: MTelus, Montreal QC
When: December 10th, 2019

A month after the release of his latest record “Wave”, hometown hero Patrick Watson returned to Montreal for the first of 3 sold-out shows at MTelus. The evening started with local indie band Thus Owls. The husband and wife duo Simon and Erika Angell plunged a rapidly growing audience into a mesmerizing daydream, with a perfect intimate set to kick off such a dreamy evening.

Right before 9pm, Patrick Watson appeared the stage under a triumph of applause. The musician has gone through some hard times during the past few years, with his mother’s passing, a relationship ending, and his long-time drummer leaving him. All this heartache was turned into art and saw the light of day as “Wave”, which had a major place in last night’s setlist. Just like the record, the performance was intimate and emotional, a way for Patrick to work through his raw sorrow, and for the audience to cathartically experience it.
