Funny story: during the opening night of the 3rd annual Talinn Music Week (an industry showcase festival), Paisley singer/songwriter Alan McKim, who I've
hyped up previously, managed to not only steal the entire packed out show, but also pick up a surprise fan in the form of Toomas Hendrik, the President of Estonia, who was in the audience at the time. After the show was over, the President commented that “The Scottish guy I have to admit was much more interesting than say David Grey, even though the chord progressions were sometimes quite similar. He is an exciting artist none the less.”
I guess this speaks volumes for McKim's talent and popularity, as he managed to impress the entire crowd, and even catch the attention of important figures, which is always a great thing. It makes me wonder what's in store for him in the future, and there's no doubt that he'll continue to get bigger and bigger in the scene, which pleases me greatly. He deserves the recognition he's getting with his skill, afterall.
