I had never heard of him, great voice. I see he made it pretty far on Americas Got Talent, wonder if he would had won if he didn't have to wear a clown suit. I would defiantly pay for that show. Thanks for the post!

The Folly is a great venue. Very intimate. I'm really looking forward to the show. Dude has big talent. And dude is big. He's nearly 7 feet tall!

I bet that will be a great show. I first saw PPP on AGT and kinda had a laugh then he started singing and my laughing ended. I then followed on youtube and looked forward to new covers. I am a fan and look forward to the day he doesnt have to play the clown.

He's got a good voice, but would he be interesting without the clown suit? Or would he just be a cover band with a good voice? Does he have any original material that makes anyone think he's more than a gimmick who can sing well?

Really. I don't watch AGT, but I just checked the link in the OP. This dude's voice is a dime a dozen. I have no idea why anyone thinks him wearing a clown suit makes it any better. It just makes it wierd. I mean, yeah, the guy can carry a tune. So can a lot of people. Nothing special about the voice, not doing original music. Why the fuck should I care?

@ GuitarCenter.

Seriously, though, I tend to agree. However, the aesthetic of the clown suit and back up band make the performances. I wouldn't go to see it, but I get the appeal.

Besides America's Got Talent...one of his early appearances was with Post Modern Jukebox. BTW they are in town this weekend at JCCC.

Hey George look who beat Puddles to the pity party.


How was the show by the way?

You should check out more of his stuff. He has a Youtube channel:

So I first stumbled across him from Haley Reinhart links on PMJ. He has a duet of Mad World with her.

(Haley Reinhart's seven nation army and black hole sun on PMJ are both really good covers.)

I like some of his covers. Not sure that I would make a huge effort to see him live. His cover of Bowie's Space Oddity is interesting.

I've seen him twice - once in Denver a year or so ago and once in Fort Collins this past Thursday. It's a bizarre show, but it's a lot of fun, and his voice is legit. Enjoy.

I honestly dont know if he writes I do know he has friends that do and he covers their songs. I do believe you can be an artist and not write interpretation has a lot to do with it.

It would be interesting to see him give it a go without the clown suit but at this point there probably no going back. Nobody really wants to see Kiss or Alice Cooper out of makeup.

You can find clips of his old band on YouTube. Here's one.



But really, I think the answer is that it's a gimmick. But he can blow for sure.
