Saturday at 7pm. This slot also has Tove Lo and Bob Moses playing. They've both played SXSW and ACL but we've never seen them live. We may want to wander from stage to stage before heading out.
This 26 year-old singer-songwriter from Vermont has blown up recently. He played Emo's in January and is now playing before Foo Fighters in a prime timeslot.
According to Wikipedia he cites some of his inspirations as Paul Simon, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Counting Crows, Hozier, and Mumford & Sons.
He sings on Joy Oladokun's song "We're All Gonna Die".
This song gets lots of airplay on KUTX.
Updates: Ok he's really blowing up. He's playing Moody Center in June. He's also playing Fenway Park TWICE next summer. He even has a song with Zach Bryan now: "Sarah's Place".
I listened to "Stick Season", his massive breakthrough album. It reminds me of Langhorne Slim with a little Band of Horses mixed in (especially on "Everywhere, Everything"). I like it. I think we should make this the first choice just to see what he's all about. Based on the frenzy it could be massively overcrowded on the T-Mobile stage.

He doesn't do much for me. Maybe he's better live? The fact that they play the song on KUTX and I don't recognize must mean I tune it out, but not so annoying I turn it off.
