This is quite a tasty set. It’s not Earth-shattering or particularly original or innovative. It contains four pop songs that are just extremely well done. This is pretty standard singer/songwriter informed modern pop rock. While in terms of style, it’s pretty generic, the performance and the song-writing are both strong enough to make this really work. I’d love to hear more from this artist.

Although guitar is the key instrument as this opens, the melody reminds me of classic Elton John. The vocals are closer to the modern alternative rock tinged singer songwriter category, though. This is very accessible and very tasty. It’s a great choice to open the set.
