After a young talented street musician who suffers from stage fright is moving to New York City and wanting to realize his dream of a breakthrough as a band with his brother, he falls into the hands of a greedy music producer who promises the big deal, but forces him to decide between a successful career as a solo artist or an unknown band life with his brother.

Performing with his brother a street performer is given a chance at the big time by a producer, but only if he dumps his brother.

Thanks for the clarification on some points.

But I'm still unclear as tp what the story is about: the struggle to overcome his insecurity AFTER he decides (end of Act 1) to go solo. OR: deciding whether or not to go solo -- finally makes up his mind by Act 3.
