Tobias Jesso Jr.

CMJ. Tobias Jesso Jr. serves up retro-style piano pop, which references touchstones both cool (Lennon, Harry Nilsson) and uncool (Billy Joel, Barry Manilow). His tunes are breezy and beautiful, not to mention way smarter than your average drippy singer-songwriter fare. Here, Jesso supports his debut, Goon, with a pair of MHOW gigs.
