There seems to be a resurgence of the one-man/woman-band over the past few years with artists like Ed Sheeran and Grimes that either use loop pedals or a combination of live instruments like guitars and synths with backing tracks.
What do you guys think of this presentation live? Is it compelling or is it a gimmick? Would you prefer they have a live band?
