Patrick Watson is known for his affinity with falsetto, harmony, complex melodies, and a variety of unconventional percussive elements in his live performance. So we weren't remotely surprised -- and truth be told, pleased and excited -- to see bits of all of these elements manifest in our impromptu session in the park today. Watson took his five piece band to meet up with our crew after they loaded in to the Bowery Ballroom. It was a blast.

The best bits of New York City are in the hidden corners and behind the high fences. Today we discovered the interior of the M'Finda Kalunga Garden, a gorgeous oasis of foliage in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The plantlife and park benches were the backdrop for today's shoot. Check out photos from the performance below and stay tuned for the full session video.
