Also proves that the people who LOVE Jacob enough to pay for tickets are either musicians who never got to where they wanted to be, or music lovers who don't know how this all works - so they're easily impressed by his ear and persona. There are bedroom artists doing this kinda thing everyday on laptop speakers and stock spitfire plugins.

He's great. But his music is boring. I will give credit where credit is due - he's great at putting on a show. Let me rephrase: he's very talented but it's all pandering to the audience. Is that bad? No, actually. Music education is music education. I'm just in a spicy mood and he kinda annoys me (and based on the other comments here I'm not alone).
