Main Act Thoughts:
•JoCo does a phenomenal performance. He's a lot of fun. He is a really talented musician, with an acoustic folk style, but mostly he is a geek. Yes. He was once a software engineer, but quit his job to become a musician. Rising to fame for his project in which he wrote a song every week for a year, and released it to the internet fo' free. He rose to further fame when he was asked to write the song for the closing credits of the extremely popular game Portal. [Came with Orange Box] He's extremely witty and clever, and provides alot of intelligent songs. He works with the audience nicely, and performs just as well live as he does on the recordings. He's something of a geek hero. We lurve him.
