For Tyne-James Organ, channelling his every emotion into music has paid off. He’s toured with his musical hero Lewis Watson and friend Allday, had national airplay on triple j’s Good Nights and has now reached newer heights with his recent record deal with Dew Process/Universal Music Australia – and that’s all with the two singles the 22-year-old has previously released. With this new-found fame, the Melbourne based singer-songwriter heads to The Lair in Sydney’s Metro Theatre for the first night of his “Watch You Go” single tour, ready to make this an incredibly special night for fans and Organ himself.

Due to Sydney native Imbi The Girl falling ill prior to the show, busker Loki Hines started off the night. He brought a warm vibe as the audience were drip fed into the room and it’s safe to say he gained a few followers with his opening slot.

St Joan stepped on the stage straight after and intrigued the crowd with their debut single, “King Of The Hill”. The band started off with frontman Daniel Tomalaris with his smooth vocals and delicate guitar, which set the tone for the following songs to come. However, it was once Tomalaris’ “best mates” Alasdair Belling and Chris Paine kicked into gear in which the night truly begun to spark.

The indie rock trio brought a flavour of their own to the stage, whether it was their cover of Radiohead’s “Karma Police” or their recent single “First Blood”. It felt like bliss listening to their live performance, and humbleness in their stage presence. And it’s safe to say by the end of the set, they had adoring fans waiting to delve deeper into their world.

“GOOD EVENING SYDNEY!”, Organ shouts as he gets on the stage and immediately every girl in the front row swoons. He’s dressed to the nines with his electric guitar and is covered in elation as he’s kicks off his set with opener “Untitled”. In the times that Organ isn’t singing, he is busy dancing around the stage like a maniac. He interacts with every person in his backing band, he interacts with his fans and all in all, it’s truly fascinating to watch.

“Watch You Go” leaves everyone in the room silent. The audience becomes a sea of mobile phones filming Organ opening his entire heart to the room. It’s just Organ and his guitar until the first chorus finishes and it’s one of the many moments we see Organ at his most vulnerable on stage.

Tyne-James Organ has two kinds of emotions on stage: There’s his manic side in songs like “Last Nite”, where he ditched his blazer and telecaster to roam around the stage and if anything, is even more enthusiastic than when he’s playing an instrument. Then, there’s the softer side to him, which shone the brightest during his performance of “I’ll Get By”. Organ jumped off the stage to contain himself in the midst of the crowd. And in his tiny little circle, he gave every piece of himself to the crowd as tiny spotlights from phone cameras created a peaceful scenery.

In the realm of live music, Tyne-James Organ is definitely something else. His stage presence oozes confidence and cool, yet his music leaves him exposed and vulnerable. That vulnerability makes Tyne-James Organ unique in the sea of upcoming musicians and if anything, there’s a gut feeling that Tyne-James Organ is a name that everyone will become familiar with in time.
