There is no denying that Lindsey plays small venues as a solo act. But they tend to be theatres with actual stages, seats and balconies. Accordingly the sound is better, the dressing rooms are nicer, etc. Nightclubs are invariably rat-infested basement dives with tiny stages, bad sound, filthy restrooms and reek of booze and vomit. He's no longer an aspirational solo artist. He has already accepted the fact that his solo work will never become hugely successful, so he is probably no longer willing to perform the drudgery typically carried on by new artists trying to hit the big time. He wants to play his music but he also wants to have fun and maintain an air of dignity while he is doing it.

Regarding the humble act... I'm not buying it for a minute. Yeah, he gets along well with his fans, but behind the scenes I'm sure he is every bit the haughty, insufferable diva that Stevie is purported to be. All one needs to see is the Destiny Rules documentary for evidence of this!
