For real go see this guy. Saw Lincoln Theatre show in Raleigh tonight, Variety Playhouse Wednesday.

Unfortunately, Variety Playhouse is on the other side of the world from me. I finally finished all my finals yesterday and all I'm doing today is sleeping haha. Variety Playhouse is a cool venue though. Pretty intimate. I saw the Turnpike Troubadours there two months ago.
 
He's kind of yachty.
Eh not really although I see how you could get that from that song/vid. He played plenty of his "older" stuff which is less croony. (Kid's only 23 and his first record came out when he was 17 so older is a relative term.)





I was a little skeptical of how he would translate live but his show was really solid. Just him and a guitar on an empty stage, but he filled the place with great sound. Had a quiet self-deprecating humor between songs, like he was surprised anybody knew his music or would come out to see him.

Two of the best shows I've ever been to were just the band and acoustic guitars. One was Aaron Lewis and the other was an impromptu Shinedown acoustic set.

Well to be fair, he probably had no idea where the hell he was lol. Raleigh isn't early a world renowned city.
 
I was hoping this thread was about he tv show "Atlanta". Which is very good, BTW. Donald Glover is a multi-talented dude.
I had the same thought haha. That show is great, can’t wait for season 2. Have you watched Community? He is great there as well, that’s where I first noticed him.

Yep. That was where I first heard of him as well. He does pretty good standup routine. Acts, writes and directs Atlanta. And his last album is really good.

And oh yeah, I think he's been perfectly cast as young Lando in the young Han Solo movie - whenever that's gonna be.

Yeah his standup is definitely solid, he used to write on 30 Rock also. I love his last album. I think Solo comes out next year, and I’m really looking forward to him in that. I also think he’ll be really good in the live action Lion King
