I went to their show tonight in Nashville.
You should go.
They do a million things right.
They give you plenty of moments where you need to pull your phone out, and also lots of times where you need to put your phone away, where you need both hands in order to be a part of the group.
Luke, the lead singer, believes he CAN. He demands, expects and directs attention.
Shying away from the attention you receive in a situation where people want you to lead them…that is not humility, that is fear.
Luke doesn’t seem to have that fear…or shyness.
At a show people LONG to be lead. So why do so few artists do it?
People want to believe. They actually need to believe. Give them a reason. Give them several.
Is it about the songs? Yes. But in a live setting its about everything else too. All five senses. And the sixth one too.
YOU take that last step onto the stage. YOU know the lights are going to be on you. YOU know that everyone in the room is watching. YOU know that everyone longs for connection.
And YOU get to decide what to do with that.
YOU are the leader.
