he spends so much time in bars. whenever he's singing somewhere, he and his backing band love to stick around after their set and close the place down then usually find an all night diner to harass afterwards. sadly, he's also the guy who will put fifty drink stirrers into his glass while he's talking to you, so i don't know how hip he is. but he loves discussing his craft and hearing others do the same so they definitely need to make time to chill in each other's orbits.
