Song of the Day: Nick Waterhouse, “Say I Wanna Know”

Another of my top songs from 2012 was recorded by Nick Waterhouse. Waterhouse hails from Tito Ortiz’s hometown of Huntington Beach, California but sounds like he’s from another era altogether. I was lucky enough to have seen him this past October at Johnny Brenda’s. His band was extremely tight and they killed it. That will certainly be the smallest venue he’ll be playing at for awhile. Especially since this song was just featured in an Acura commercial.
