Artist description The Night Watchmen blend rock, jazz, blues, gospel and cabaret sounds to create music that has been compared to everyone from David Gray to Tom Waits, Tori Amos to Ben Folds, The The to Peter Gabriel. The songs all contain charactes you'd find either in life or in your mind, and the music feels right when driving down the freeway staring out the window, sitting at home late at night taking the world in, and out carousing on a drunken full moon staggering through windows and ghosts. Led by songwriter, singer and pianist, Gentry Bronson, backed by bassist and singer, Dr. John Hudy, held together by drummer and percussionist, Corey Losee, and harmonically linked by violinist, saxophonist and trumpet player, Jeff Hobbs. The Night Watchmen released their first EP, "Illumination" in the Winter of 2001. Their full length release, "Lost In California" was released in the Spring of 2003.
