High Desert

The one who has a voice that balances between Ray Charles and Van Morrison and who continues to release records at a steady pace (Holly IN 2014, Never Twice in 2016, Nick Waterhouse in 2019 and now Live At Pappy & Harriet's) continues to 'extend his vision beyond his own career by collaborating with friends like Ty Segall or between Leon Bridges. He also produced some albums of his friends. Live at Pappy & Harriet’s arrived immediately after a long and intense European tour but also a moment when Nick Waterhouse questioned everything. This album reflects the work of an artist who has seen certain things. He's studied, he's composed, he's receptive, he's free, and he's got to know his own artistic practice in a way that looks fiery and raw on this live record recorded in his hometown.
