Vance Joy is one of the successes unlikelier 2014, While the rest of the game seems to be doing more, Australian singer / songwriter became less. All he needed was a ukulele and a demonstration that had been sitting at your computer for several years to land a worldwide success. "Riptide" reached number one in Santiago (his real name) quadruple platinum homeland and eventually sold. It was not long before the song was a hit throughout Europe.
That leaves the US chart domination and Vance is working on it. "Riptide" is located just outside the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, while his debut LP Dream Your Life Away reached the top 20. His campaign should receive a substantial boost when it hits the road as the opening act for Taylor Swift 1989 world tour. To get an idea of what the Australian sounds like live, check out his typically brilliant performance on Conan up top.
