ION Issue#58

On the cover this month is Patrick Wolf. Hailing from London, Patrick is as charming and friendly as he is talented. This is saying a lot because he can play about 30 instruments and puts on an amazing live show. It’s impossible to pigeonhole Patrick to a single style of music as he plays as many genres as he does instruments. He’s comfortable rockin’ with a ukulele, getting the dancefloor moving with a viola, or crooning a ballad while playing a piano. Think of him as a modern day Prince but not as weird and slightly less flamboyant. Patrick’s fourth studio album, The Bachelor, is a melodramatic and genre hopping experience that shows this lad has a long and eclectic career in music ahead of him. In fact, it’s not hard to imagine that one day he’ll compose a rock opera with puppets like Jason Segel did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
