Devon Welsh - Summer's End

I saw Devon Welsh (previously of Majical Cloudz) perform by himself as the opener for Hundred Waters about a year ago. It was a really intimate experience. He just walked over in front of the stage where the audience had been milling around, waiting for the show to start, and asked us all to gather around in a semi-circle. From there he just started singing mostly acapella, though sometimes with some basic accompaniment from his loop station. Must take a lot of courage to be able to do that, to be so physically close and opening up to a total group of strangers. Some people I've expressed this to have said that it's not a big deal because it's his job ... but ... I'd rather continue being the hopeless romantic about this sort of thing.
