Insightful Canadian singer/songwriter Patrick Watson rolls into the Cedar Cultural Center Saturday night on the strength of his excellent new record, Adventures In Your Own Backyard, an album filled with a studied blend of subtle instrumentation and profound lyrics. Watson has long since captured the attention of music fans with his Polaris Award-winning Close To Paradise, and his riveting new songs only build on that promise.

Watson has just released a compelling video for "Into Giants," one of the standout tracks on the new record, as well as a free download of another lovely new number, "Words In The Fire." So give these tracks a look and a listen to get yourself even more excited for Watson's show tomorrow night.

And, if you needed any more incentive to head out to the show, long-time Sufjan Stevens and Sharon Van Etten collaborator Cat Martino is the opening act, and her arty folk-pop should set the stage well for Watson and company,

Patrick Watson and Cat Martino play at the Cedar Cultural Center on Saturday, June 2. Doors are at 7, and showtime begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15, and are available here.
