Male Nurse (aka. Davey Q, aka. Davey Bobabie, aka Davey Gravey) may be the busiest guy in Ottawa. He has his fingers in pretty much everything going on nowadays - he plays with locals Mothers Children, Cloven Hoofs, Chandeliers, Million Dollar Marxists, sang backups on the incredible Year Zero release, and has filled in for just about every other cool band in the city. Male Nurse is Davey’s singer/songwriter/folk project and after seeing him live again this past weekend he has cemented himself as one of the premier songwriters in Ottawa.

While I’m no expert in the area, I do know that Davey has successfully picked up where (other Ottawa native) Andrew Vincent left off with “To Thine“. Stripped down, beautifully crafted songs with heartfelt (and often ridiculous) lyrics. Live, Davey is sincere enough to make you believe everything he is singing and charismatic enough to hold your attention to his every move.

Luckily for us, he has been nice enough to post his new EP “Everything’s Amazing” (and old EP “All My Friends Are Assholes”) on his myspace (check the blog section). Go listen to them, then go see him live and buy him a beer to thank him for some of the best songs of the year.
