DANIEL ROMANO
If I’ve Only One Time Askin’
(New West Records)
A swirling flourish of strings whirls around a noir cocktail of stately country elegance of
classic piano and brass flourishes, as a voice emerges from the stale smoke and dim lights

Now approaching a decade as a band, it has been a truly interesting journey for Patrick Watson and his cohorts. Having accomplished such feats as playing to over 100,000 people at the 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival, composing 15 scores for film and television, receiving Canada’s elite Polaris Music Prize in 2007, and most recently performing two songs in Wim Wenders’s current 3D epic “Every Thing Will Be Fine”, his career has had many peaks, with more to come with the release of his forthcoming album, Love Songs For Robots.
