I thoroughly enjoyed his performance (taking into account the craptastic acoustic mixing on the show that night.) I think he is the sort who really should be a band front-man, not a solo act. There is a completely different energy between solo acts who happen to have a band playing for them, and lead singers who are part of the living organism that is a good band. He seemed to be subconsciously searching for something during his performance---maybe he was searching for a band to interact with, and up the energy. Perhaps that's why he seemed at times a bit like a hand trying to strike without the full force of an arm behind it. I’m happy to know Tyler Grady is in a band that performs his style of music.
