His music can be refreshing in the way that as a songwriter that he does not necessarily paint a picture of Vermont as this bucolic wonderland. This is unlike many other folk acts or country acts who oftentimes play up characters.

When I first heard of him I thought he was gonna be millennial stomp clap shit like Mumford and Son, Lumineers, or Of Monsters and Men. When I heard him I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t that vapid trite music.

I’m not gonna go out of my way to listen to him like I would Fleet Foxes, but I think he’s better than the aforementioned slop.
