Like a good host, Nuotio got right into the spirit of the nightperforming in his underwear. "Well, it was a cancer benefit," hesays matter-of-factly, as if performing almost naked was the mostnatural thing in the world.
Though as far as hosting types go, it is David Letterman's longtimesidekick and musical director that Nuotio admires. "I see myself asa Paul Shaffer type, rather than being front and centre," he says,describing Canadian-born Shaffer as a wisecracking, musicallydiverse smart mouth.
Nuotio is a St. John's-reared, classical-music-school dropout whocame to Ottawa to chase love. He settled in well, playing his firstshow at the Black Sheep in the summer of 2006, then opening forGlaswegian super-band Camera Obscura just six months later. At hislive show, Nuotio would spin out songs he described as"homo-emo-cabaret," and they brought to mind shades of Owen Pallettand Rufus Wainwright. The tag stuck, but these days he's trying toretire the cute quip in favour of, well, whatever comes out.
"Now that I'm happy, all those miserable songs about distance andfragile things I used to write ... they're still there, but I wantto move forward. Through no fault of the band members I've had, I'mtrying to figure out a way to perform solo," he says, not only tomake money from shows and have the ease of playing out-of-town gigsat the drop of a hat, "but to get back to just a piano and hopethat my vocal performance can carry the songs."
A songwriters' circle is just the chance to hash out those ideasand make the gradual adjustment to performing solo once again
"We're all sitting around having this blind date," Nuotio says ofthe song-circle format. He'll share the stage with Dave Norris andTara Holloway of Ottawa and Ian Foster from St. John's. The fourwill try to riff off one another, sharing the stories behind thesongs, while getting feedback from their audience.
