American singer-songwriter Nick Waterhouse brings his sixth album, The Fooler, to Barcelona.

Waterhouse is someone who has managed to avoid the trap of nostalgia, which so often becomes a dead end, and is much more than a retro artist. Despite his evident great affection for people like Mose Allison and Ray Charles, he has managed to turn those inspirations into something new thanks to his talent for composing songs free of clichés. At the moment, the first reviews of The Fooler are very positive and confirm that it is continuing in the right direction. Here is an example:

“A stellar crooner, Waterhouse may echo the swagger of Lou Reed or Bob Dylan, but he never resorts to self-mockery. In fact, in The Fooler he rejects the easy idea of ​​being cool, as can be seen for example in "Hide And Seek," the best song that the genius Burt Bacharach never wrote."—No Depression

“Close your eyes and you can easily imagine yourself in an American restaurant or cafe circa 1963. Nick Waterhouse's music and voice really transport you back in time. The care and attention that is put into the music is something to marvel at and it has that timeless feel, thanks to excellent work by the production.”—Get Ready To Rock.

“These contemplative, sometimes hypnotic melodies can be the soundtrack for when the party is coming to an end and only a few couples are left drinking the last bottle of wine, ready to walk languidly home through empty urban streets at three in the morning.”—American Songwriter.
