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 initially grabbed listeners with his 2011 EP Is That Clear. He has remained a standard-bearer for analog recording techniques, and retro-style, both evident on his subsequent albums, ranging from 2012's Time's All Gone to 2021's Promenade Blue, all issued through the Innovative Leisure label.
