Flying So Low
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Remember six-inch voices? Those would be about four inches too long for a Doby Watson concert. The 21-year-old songwriter pens tranquil numbers that emphasize sparse arrangements for acoustic guitar and voice: the only two instruments he typically carries with him on his frequent tours of D.I.Y. folk venues. Though he’ll occasionally relent and fight the jabbering crowds at local bars, Watson more often targets alternative venues like houses and art galleries. He applies the strength-in-numbers principle, touring with friends to support split EPs and albums (recent cohorts include Margo May, Manipulator Alligator, Viking Moses and Regal Standard). Watson brought his 12-inch voice to our podcast studio along with a compilation of tunes from his first four years onstage (previously under the alias Boo Hiss).
