Nick Waterhouse is a modern American singer-songwriter, record producer, guitarist and band leader. He released his debut album, Time’s All Gone, in 2012. Since then, he has released five more, the latest being The Fooler (2023). In his music you will hear echoes of things you might think you know, or believe you remember, filtered through the lens of idiosyncratic artistic perspective. You will hear rhythm and blues, garage rock, record shop 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. Played once, his album sounds immediately like a collection of great songs. Play it again – and you will – his work feels like a novel or a film slowly unveiling its secrets, kaleidoscopic in narrative complexity.
