Patrick Watson with the NAC Orchestra

January 19, 2019 8:00 pm. As part of our new Sessions series, NAC Presents ecstatically welcomes Montreal's inimitable Patrick Watson for a truly special, one-night performance with the NAC Orchestra.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.Still standing proudly at the helm, Love Songs For Robots marks Patrick Watson's fifth release since Watson first galvanized this "temporary project" in 2006 with the release of his critically acclaimed debut Close To Paradise. His latest instalment in his already impressive body of work follows up on his stunning 2012 release Adventures In Your Own Backyard. Signatures like his hushed falsetto croon remains to be the vessel that transports his vast emotional depths, but Love Songs For Robots proudly shows Watson sailing out into uncharted waters once again.. 53 Elgin StreetOttawa, ON K1P 5W1..
