MEET THE PIANO GUYS

THE PIANO GUYS is an American music duo consisting of Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp Nelson. They became famous through YouTube where they posted videos of renditions and mashes of popular songs accompanied by professional-looking video clips. Ever since I discovered these amazing musicians, their music has occupied the majority of my playlists. I could fill the page with superlatives and it wouldn't begin to quantify the quality and emotion The Piano Guys put into their music...Videos after the jump:


Absolutely beautiful. I love how their instruments speak and form the words of the artist in a way more beautiful that words can repeat.


what a peaceful melody!! I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this piece!!


Listening to this while doing my homework.....homework is not as bad when you listen to the songs they play!


Stunning!!..in such moment like this, i really regret that i can't play any musical instrument. =(


This is the greatest thing made by humanity. Ever! Eat your heart out, Lucas!!!

Be sure to check out their other videos on YouTube to get a better understanding of the passion they put into their music.

AMAZING GIN WIGMORE

Sometimes you find the greatest things in the oddest places. Check out this great cover version of Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" performed by New Zealand singer/songwriter GIN WIGMORE.

I love her voice, it's kind of rough, but that's what makes it good :)

COLDPLAY pays tribute to the Beastie Boys

COLDPLAY honors the Beastie Boys, specifically Adam Yauch, in this live performance. It took place at the Hollywood Bowl on May 4, 2012. LOVE this...A very different take on a great song. A tribute is a bands way of showing respect to another band and they did a great job showing theirs. Good job Coldplay!!
