The California-via-Midwest rythm-and-blues rocker has a new record out called Never Twice. The record is the third strong album from a guy who is both creatively gifted and who is also a smart businessman.
“I’m a little more aware of that stuff than the average musician,” Waterhouse told CaliforniaRocker.com. “It’s a product of my upbringing. I have practical parents, non-artistic parents. It’s a constant war within me between being aware and having responsibility, and getting my ideas executed.”

Nick is on tour across America and launches a European tour in January.
The new album, Never Twice, released by Innovative Leisure is a collection of songs that reflect a lot that’s going on beneath the studied casual appearance Waterhouse sports. The tunes reflect an upbringing that blends the American experience with the roadmap of how to get where you want to go in life. He says the latest collection doesn’t have a theme per se, but instead the songs reflect the work Waterhouse has been doing for several years.
“Making a record happens over time,” Waterhouse said. “With these songs there’s stuff as early as after Holly and and as recent as the last session before the album. Yes, I do my planning before I start recording but the hardest thing is scheduling space and equipment.”
