As much as I love Greg Laswell’s music, there were sadly not that many people that felt as strongly as I to come to his show at the Starbucks stage on Monday. Sure, Laswell doesn’t dance all around the stage, jump into the crowd, or getting boozed up with his bandmates, but his sincere piano pop songs are worth seeing live.

Having had his songs featured in a plethora of television shows, including several appearances in “Grey’s Anatomy,” Laswell should have had a larger crowd than he did. However, maybe his songs like “Off I Go” and “Sing Theresa Says” would have been better suited for a smaller venue, with walls for the piano to reverberate off of.

But maybe the smaller crowd worked to his advantage, because even though we were at a music festival, his intimate performance was filled with just enough fervor that the few several people could enjoy.
