I checked it out; a competent amateur, but no more than that, and not much of a singer; his phrasing is rather poor.  His unexceptional material is copied from other, better-known performers (how many Peter Paul and Mary covers do we really need?), and there is not an ounce of originality in it.  I guess he'd be ok as a floor-singer in a folk club, but it's possibly a little too early for his agent to be advertising him in an international forum.
