Patrick Watson, based in Montreal, is an art rock quartet that has exploded onto the Canadian and international scene at then end of 2006 following the release of album “Close to Paradise.” Watson, along with band mates Miska Stein, Robbie Kuster, and Simon Angeli, have proved that they deserve to be considered among the best of Canada’s promising musical exports.
In the midst of his own band’s rising success, Watson found time to co-write and record guest vocals and piano with The Cinematic Orchestra on their 2007 release “Ma Fleur.” The song “To Build a Home” was used prominently in the season four premiere of the hit ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.
Watson has many other noteworthy placements including CBS crime drama Criminal Minds, NBC’s Friday Night Lights, Bulgari, Tropicana, and much more.
