The Nightwatchman is the solo project of American musician Tom Morello (guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and Street Sweeper Social Club). Morello began performing as The Nightwatchman in 2003 (with some album covers showing Tom Morello The Nightwatchman or Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman).
Morello has explained, "The Nightwatchman is my political folk alter ego. I've been writing these songs and playing them at open mic nights with friends for some time.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is pretty easy to play but the Nightwatchman isnt really about hard guitar hes bringing you a message in as blatant a way as he can. He does awesome work. Any or comments email me at [email protected]
