Comment: This says "Now Grammer has a record contract on S-Curve, and a debut album due out later this year", so he does appear to be signed. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - per Boing! said Zebedee, and the performance at SXSW (so played at a concert at a national level, can't remember the wording used in WP:MUSIC). I'm on the fence whether his performance was trivial or not, but if he's being mentioned by name in the source for the Hanson charity recording of performers at SXSW he can't have been too trivial. I'm not that familiar with how SXSW is organized, but when I used to go to concerts the secondary stages weren't often recorded. No vote on the deletion, since I am the one who restored the article from deletion and created most of the text in the article as of this timestamp. Syrthiss (talk) 17:59, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:NMG for the time being. Stifle (talk) 19:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:NMG has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself, this includes, but not limited to: billboard.com, popeater.com, vevo.com, spinner.com, bmi.com, wsj.com, starpulse.com, and many, many others. He performed on The Rachael Ray Show live on November 17, 2010 Waseabind (talk) 20:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you please provide exact links to the articles in question rather than just WP:VAGUEWAVEs and namechecking? Stifle (talk) 11:58, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Several of those are already linked in the article. Syrthiss (talk) 11:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Waseabind. He's performed on national TV and in a major music festival in the United States. That's enough for me. Bearian (talk) 21:21, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I did some fixin' on the article and looked at the sources, there are enough good ones to show notability. I understand why the article was nominated for deletion, it was started by a newbie unaware of what they subject themselves to.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 16:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
