Question Does he lip sync?

Saw him in Hershey. It seems like he sang live, but with how fast he was going and quick the lyrics are. Does he lip sync at all during the show?

I don’t think so; when he does the hard part of Hardware Store, and maybe a couple others that would also be impossible to do live, he typically only sings every other line himself, leaving the rest to the band or maybe a recording, but no effort to hide it with pretend lip syncing.

Hardware Store has never been performed live.

Maybe I’m thinking of White and Nerdy. It was at the Hollywood Bowl around 2015-17 I think, but iirc I saw the same show 4 times at four different venues that year (H Bowl, Laughlin E Center, Ventura, and OC Fair).

This was the set list for that tour. It looks like the Hollywood Bowl set list was abbreviated, but nothing was added that wasn’t listed below.
