First gigs are always tough. Nerves, mainly. Especially if the set is quite minimalistic; only a keyboard (no drum machien, just a piano setting) and vocals. However, if the vocalist can sing as well as some of the best signed artists, then the problem becomes a lot smaller. This guy’s vocal range was incredible, as was his ability to connect with a song. There were some nervous mistakes in the piano sections but that counted for nothing when compared to the emotion produced by their set. A promising start; all it needs is more songs, a band (it does tend to sound a bit too thin), and time.
