Known for his vintage-inspired pop and R&B aesthetic, Nick Waterhouse is a songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist whose music recalls the sounds of the 1950s and early '60s while possessing a modern-day level of energy and cool. Waterhouse's music is steeped in a slinky late-night vibe with organic arrangements that have enough space for his vocals without crowding his instrumentalists. Waterhouse initially grabbed listeners with his 2011 EP Is That Clear, and he's remained a standard-bearer for analog recording techniques and retro style, as evidenced on his work from 2012's Time's All Gone to 2023's The Fooler.
