At one solo show, he took my nephew's CD and played it, attempting to play/sing along, and doing a really good job... and giving my nephew one of the biggest thrills of his musical career. Finn turned what could've been a pretty annoying bit into a lot of fun for the crowd through his talent and sheer earnestness. I'm eager to see how he does with FM.

Perfect for more intimate shows...but I'm not sure his style is really suited to bring it to larger arena shows. Lindsey's animated stage presence captivates the crowd as you don't need to be close up to see he's a bit mad.
