LA-dweller, Nebraska-born singer/songwriter Will Hutchinson will be making his Hotel Cafe debut this Saturday, June 11th at 9pm.
The stand-out song for me off his debut album Arrive is “Without You,” a simultaneously sad and peaceful song about a man dealing with the loss of his wife. Its soothing finger-picking and softly-whispered vocals are punctuated by high haunting harmonies and the subtle bellows of low percussion. The beauty of this song is in the interplay between the direct lyrics and sparse arrangement, leaving room for you to hear both Hutchinson’s message and your own thoughts. It is also the perfect length from my apartment to my local grocery store – literally door to door – and somehow made my bland errand a little more meaningful.
