Random Cover of the Week – Michael Jackson and Yes on Solo Violin

Alex DePue is a asskicking violin player. He’s classically trained, yet he’s won National Fiddle player of the year. He’s performed country music at the Grand Ole Opry and shared the stage with Steve Vai. But this video isn’t any of that. It’s him showing up at an Open Mic night looking like Jeff Bridges Daniels in Dumb and Dumber and flooring the crowd with an incredible mashup of Yes’ “Owner of a Lonely Heart” and Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”, all by himself. Awesome.

FYI, Jeff Bridges wasn’t in Dumb and Dumber…that was Jeff Daniels. :)

Awesome site!

Doh! This is why I shouldn’t write these things when I’m tired.
