Sure.
But personally I prefer to use an international metric for how good they are. I find it suspicious when is someone is presumably so good (Fender), but yet no one in continental Europe or USA seem to bother. I mean half of the bands playing at Glastonbury could probably also play the Forest National in Brussels or Roseland Theater in Portland.
I'm not judging if they pick him, I just find it weird. All the music I've ever listened was "international", so it is just a phenomena I don't really understand.
