Vance Joy Makes His Late Night Debut On ‘Seth Meyers’: Watch Him Perform “Riptide”

Vance Joy‘s “Riptide” first exploded in his native Australia last year before conquering the charts in most major markets across Europe. The devastatingly-simple ukelele-pop song is now climbing the Billboard Hot 100  — it rose to number 59 this week — and should get a nice boost from the songsmith’s winning performance on last night’s (September 10) Late Night With Seth Meyers.

The curly-haired crooner looked a little nervous to begin with (it was his late night television debut) but he soon found his rhythm and delivered a typically understated but moving rendition. Vance dropped his debut LP Dream Your Life Away this week and will be supporting it with a similarly-titled North American tour. Find all the dates after the jump and watch “Riptide” up top.
