The answer is his music, which is whatever the power-pop equivalent to nerdcore is. Opening with "You're Supposed To," the rocking quartet made the most of their short set to the slowly growing crowd, featuring the eponymous singer rocking out on a mandolin designed to look like a little electric guitar. Upbeat, simple chord progressions, jangly hooks and harmonized "ooh-ooh" backing vocals were abundant, and led to a fun and entertaining set.

Newman: goofy, geeky and infectious as hell. While there may be many Adam Browns in the world, only one can rock out on mandolin and sing about fictional warriors set to catchy hooks like this guy and, for that, he has earned the title of "The."
