Can you help me find this singer using very little information?
A few years ago I saw a man singing on TV. I always want to look up names like “Jason Mraz” or “James Blunt” when I try to find him, so I think his name may start with a J… or he may have a similar sounding music style.
I am fairly sure it was Letterman’s show, but not positive. He played the piano, not a guitar, and was wearing a hat like this. The song that he sang was a cover, but I did not know the song… only that I liked his interpretation.
I know the odds of anyone knowing what I’m talking about are very slim, but, I’ve seen stranger things happen here. Any ideas?

I’m pretty sure he was also wearing tight fitting jeans and a white shirt. I’m really looking for the clip from the show, more than the singer… but anything would be cool.
@auhsojsa not in the clip that I saw, no. He may have been scruffy, but no beard.
Can you remember the timeline of when you saw it?
Not really, no. It’s been a long time. Probably 2–3 years ago, at least.
Daniel Powter? The guy who sang, “Bad Day.”
If you know a snippet of the lyrics, you could google those lyrics to get the title of the song. Then look up that song title on YouTube. There’s a good chance that clip from Letterman is amongst them. Then, armed with the song title and singer, go to Amazon to buy the MP3…
Damien Rice? James Morrison? Gavin DeGraw, Jack Johnson? David Gray?
Gilbert O’Sullivan?
I don’t know the lyrics. I don’t even remember the song, I barely remember the performance… only that I really liked it.
I’m checking all of these suggestions, though. :)
Oh!! Gavin DeGraw. That’s his face, I recognize him. Does he play the piano? Does he have any popular cover songs?
Woo, I can’t believe how fast that was. I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. Nicely done, @rebbel!
Holy crap. Fluther is amazing.
@everephebe nailed it. Thank you!!
Apparently, I was completely wrong about what he was wearing. :) Is this even a cover?
It’s incredible that not only did I give wrong information, but, you found it so quickly. <3 jellies.
Well once I had a name it was easy. :D
He does wear white t-shirts and that hat though… I’ll keep looking.
This might not be the song. Maybe I have confused my brain. This is definitely the artist, though.
Either way, YAY.
No, this is not the song. :( I just know this song from the radio. Maybe I have the wrong show.
Why is he so attractive? Holy shit, I can never forget this name again.
Nope, that’s not it, either.
I’m having trouble finding anything about songs that he has covered. When I Google, it just gives me people covering his songs. I want to say that I specifically remember him saying it was a cover, which is the only reason I knew that.
I am probably wrong about all of this. :\
Well, I’m going to need a few more details to get anything more for ya – but happy hunting.
Thanks for trying. :)
I feel like I am on the right track, now, at least.
Well, my guess was wrong! But for a scruffy guy who plays piano and wears a hat like that you could do worse than Patrick Watson!
