Willie Watson Pittsburgh Concert reviews
Can he do this again next year?
Willie Watson's concerts at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine were both simply magnificent, and I was fortunate to see them. The musicians worked so well together, with interesting arrangements of each song. It was evident they were thrilled to be there, as if they'd been working together for years.
If you enjoy something a little different and uplifting, without sugary fake cheer, then this show would have been for you, unlike if you were looking for Willie Watson to sing "Jingle Bells." I was amazed at how Willie Watson brings songs dating as far back as the 15th century to life and makes them sound modern.
I would suggest that Willie Watson seriously consider doing a similar show in NYC next winter and I'd go see it in a second!
