    Since I couldn't find em elsewhere, here are the names of the musicians
    Patrick Watson - Vocals
    Simon Angell - Acoustic Guitar
    Mishka Stein - Electric Guitar
    Mélanie Bélair - Violin
    Robbie Kuster - Percussion

      I much prefer when those names are included on the notes and even more when the people with mics introduce everyone performing - it isn’t that hard to do and there is no reason why that isn’t protocol.

    Great concert in Toronto last night (Meridian Ctr). His voice soars, melodic, expressive. So natural and relaxed, having fun and loving his own shared experience. Full Philharmonic orchestra and choir (his dream realized). Wonderful instrumentation and interesting lyrics. And...that laugh...joyous!!🎶🇨🇦

    He seems like an odd fellow. I might or might not want to have a conversation with him. Probably not, because I'd rather listen to his music.
    This is not a criticism. His music is so beautiful that I would choose it over all but the most impressive of conversation.
    And he surrounds himself with extremely [multi] talented backing musicians. What a confluence of talent and apparent onstage respect. What a beautifully layered unique product their gripping music is.

Eles misturam tons e criam um universo sonoro espetacular: muito, mas muito mesmo, criativos! Os caras do conjunto dão-nos uma inspiração mágica (...) e o vocalista realiza umas manobras vocais muito, muito, mas muito mesmo agradáveis!!! Cara, se eu morasse na cidade de voces eu gostaria de estar próximo de vocês, me esforçaria para ser um dos seus amigos...Vocês devem ser muito legais!!! Congratulações para todo o sempre!!! ...
