Why he might be annoying:

    His website 'About' page reroutes to his Wikipedia page.
    He has yet to have a song chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
    His stage name is plural, leading some to mistake him for a musical group on the billing.
    He performed a mellow cover of 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' (sacrilege! That's Whitney's song!)

Why he might not be annoying:

    Taylor Swift is a fan (his music is on her playlist).
    The first album he owned was Lucinda Williams’ 'Car Wheels On A Gravel Road,' which he cites as his musical influence.
    Critics compared him to The National and Bon Iver.
    He was named the Rising Star of 2013 by Amazon MP3.
    His music is frequently used and heard on Parenthood and Grey's Anatomy.
    Although chart success has evaded him, his 'Stand by Me' cover did surpass 1.5 million views on YouTube and was featured in the movies 'Power Rangers' and Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell biopic.
    His work on 'Take Me Home' won him the prize for best music in a film at the Nashville Film Festival.
