Best New Orleans street musician I've seen

Contact information available on request

[@LesSavyFan1]

If i was a record producer i'd just scour alleys an streets looking for talent like this. Most of these street musicians have lived hard lives and deserve to be heard.

[@xxxxTriviumxxxx]

it is unreal how many people just walk by without taking anytime to notice what this guy is actually doing, i find it sad that we move so fast that you cant take 2 mins to appreciate life around you.

[@TehFrenchy29]

I'm not sure what impresses me more: that he's playing a neck-less Upright using pedals, that he can control his breathing well enough to play harmonica while playing a guitar, that he can do all this at the same time, or that in between harmonica parts he is also singing the whole song ... I don't always see talented people, but when I do there is this strong feeling of YES

[@PlayingForChange]

This guys got some serious talent! I am loving his style. Music like this is how it should be, for the people by the people

[@yogijimi101]

Talk about feeling music throughout your whole body! From the strings he strums, to the air he breaths, he doesnt miss a step, from the beat of his feet. I sure hope this guy goes far.

[@renegade5130]

It's a mix of "Lord send me an angel" by Blind Willie McTell and "Crow Jane" by Skip James. I wish the video was much longer, I could watch this guy all day.

[@niktempleton9915]

marino deželak his name is Ryan Baer. If you search there are a few more videos of him playing and with a band.

[@Musicman11389]

While the song is not harmonically complex, there is still an extraordinary and admirable amount of coordination going on. Although drummers use more than two appendages, they don't have to worry about pitch; This guy is doing it all: hands, feet, and vocals/harmonica. To be able to accurately control that much coordination and STILL be able to have fun with ones own self-sustaining jam session is remarkable indeed. I daresay this dude deserves a great deal of props to say the very least.

[@HungryEars]

It's nice to know that somewhere out there, brother man, with all of his ability, is livin' his dream his way. I'd love to see him in person. Damn he's got talent!

[@charleypictures]

He's fantastically awesome! How is this even possible? If you close your eyes he's an entire band right there. Thanks for uploading this really inspiring video :)

[@Avalaxy]

ah damn, this stuff is SO good. I can watch it over and over again. Just LOVE the harmonics :) Wish there was a full record of this.

[@erniedlt3561]

such talent. To be able to have the skill just to play one of these instruments is difficult. but 3? that is multitasking at its finest

[@Pmaxsam75]

Fuck me hell! the guy is good. I am deeply and honestly impressed. How many renowned artists can pretend to perform as good as he does. The guy deserves my deepest respects. One more time... loved it

[@EyesShineLikeTHC]

This is probably one of the best covers of Crow Jane I have ever heard

[@guitarsurfer15]

Music that can be felt in the soul. Real, good music.

[@Perdet]

that has so much coordination its ridiculous. I am very impressed. A lot of people will take this guy for granted.

[@kiatyfication]

I think this is great and don't see anything wrong with Ryan entertaining tourists and locals alike! I love stumbling upon unique talent like this when I'm walking around out and about a new city!

[@74dartman13]

That is wild! I've never seen a bass set up like that with pedals before...so cool. Very talented!!!

[@alkmoan02]

Now this is true talent. Hope this guy gets more recognition.

[@irishkod]

how the fuck can he concentrate on that many things at once?!? thats talent right there people like him need to be recognized as true musicians. he should be on stage and tv

[@JUST1F1X]

HOW do people just walk by and not even acknowledge this guy AND his music??? Unnnnbelievable!!! :-/

[@mylowproject]

God bless these street musician are talent love it

[@Mittie98]

Wow. If I ever seen this guy walking down the street, I would never suspect he had this kind of ability. He is amazing

[@rico00042]

[@splash3219]

The One The Only...Mr.Ryan Baer!!! A very talented musician!!!!

[@prushamusic]

[@yusofalan7496]

oh my god....such an awesome presentation its just make my day listening to this talented individual....this is what i call a gift of god.

[@redwoodowl]

I've played this about half a dozen times in a row now. Excellent stuff.

[@vahnn0]

His message is genuine and from the heart, and it conveys his emotion as directly as possible. And, despite what you view as crude language, it is worded beautifully. And he's right.

[@seanthomson9479]

This is Ryan Baer! He's from my city. I've seen him play many times, he's very talented.

[@arpod1]

Unbelievable, I would love to have street musicians were i live.

[@jayesclob9828]

just awesome! another real artist at the street

[@yenbadcito]

thats exactly how i always imagine this song being played!

[@ac81017]

Sounds like a mix of Bob Dylan and JJ cale, amazing all in one :-)

[@MeatballMassacre]

Oh hell yes ! This is music ! Want more of this guy

[@nightfrailer]

I come and watch this anytime I am feeling talented. Straightens me right out.

[@contactkeithstack]

0:08 "lord send, me an angel," and then bam!

[@auldmansbaccie4647]

Yeah, she turned up bang on time! Ha ha!

[@vixenluchelle]

This is amazing!

[@suman6350]

how people thumbs down for this crazy ability and creativity

[@1212jnjn12]

this guys is great , luv that 1930's tenor in his voice , And what rythym , to bounce along like that with 3 instruments , it is in his bones. for such a young guy as well. I sure hope he puts it down on a CD, You Tube audio suks the rope. but thanks to whoever you are that posted it .

[@D4rkMatter1975]

Love that old blues sound that guy is awesome, someone should give him a break!

[@ohananam]

AMZING SKILL!

[@chipwhackerman7087]

This guy sounds great, I live in Nola, I have never seen him out there, these performers come and go..

[@IvanSbavni]

STUNNING! I'm speechless!!!!

[@mikobv]

"Crow Jane" It's an old Skip James tune.

[@LopeMolinaRomero]

Bravo!!! The Orchestra Man ^_^

[@minecraft12324565]

I have to agree I love any music like this. He has talent and he plays for free and the money is not a have to.

[@MrTaillac]

Here from New Orleans..........WE LOVE YOU!!!

[@justinecooper9575]

"...he was playin' real good for free..."

[@TheZombieJC]

He's singing "Lord, Send Me an Angel" by Blind Willie McTell.

[@MetalionMusic]

Brilliant, simply brilliant!

[@TheMediaLeague]

Great representation of our current game challenge! Love the life that you are bringing to the street.

[@GiuseppeFuscoGuitar]

I like the double bass system. He plays that strings with a "piano keyboard"

[@bernardtexaco]

i cant even sing and play at the same time and i think this guy probably play bass better with his feet than i do with two hands as well! good luck to you sir! talent in abundance =)

[@rrodoXXX]

Thanks Sean ! Now i will look for others videos with this awsome musician ! Greetings from Brazil !

[@Velocipeden]

Guys like this are the real superstars!

[@Mazequax]

oh man he's good! and I love his voice :D

[@Sean-ng4eu]

I hear lots of stuff but this guy really good, I mean REALLY good!

[@tkdguy135]

Proud to call new orleans home! Such an awesome place to be

[@savethem59]

we NEED another Woodstock with people like this!!

[@d12bn]

This is what Ryan told me about the song. By the way, I'm jumping in and out of four songs, all with the same blues form: Crow Jane, from a Skip James arrangement; Lord Send Me an Angel, from Blind Willie McTell; Grocery Clerk, with original lyrics; and an original arrangement of Stack O'Lee Blues at the end.

[@pipamir]

If only we had this sort of talent in the music industry today- now we just have computer-generated and overly autotuned crap. This guy has ACTUAL talent!

[@lourdestogahang-mahlberg4352]

i will surely spend more time watching him,super!!

[@geekintheperimeter]

How in the world do you keep all that straight!? Feet, hands, and mouth going all at once!? Hard enough to me rub my head and pat my tummy at the same time without screwing that up.You are amazing!

[@dalen1000]

This guy is inspiring me. He´s name is Ryan Baer and I realy like his style ;-)

[@alysonnichole23]

This is why I love living in New Orleans (:

[@flyingdoctorcee]

Cool artiste …love the streets in New Orleans..

[@ludwigdrummer717]

... this guy is great. That foot rig with the piano hammers blows my mind.

[@crashmaster57]

Wondering if he build that bass rig? That is really something!

[@anybodycanart]

I can't chew gum and walk at the same time...he is badass...dig the whole thing!

[@ranchii25]

See this guy up in Northern Ontario from time to time. Was known as The Haret last time I saw him. Fantastic musician!

[@MarkSmith-ey2pg]

Out of this world!

[@ukppgames]

Dear viewer, You currently are in a random KZbin spree. Please go back to work. Thanks, The management

[@Zalbar84]

Make me!

[@beatout7601]

Busted!! Screw it...this job sucks anyway.

[@brandonscott6606]

Sorry..no can do! I gotta watch "The power kicks in Taekwondo"

[@Cyan37]

Leave me alone :c I'm on vacation :c :c

[@Longyyy]

I can't believe how accurate this is

[@littlebitsouthern]

I would like to see him try out for America's Got Talent. If he didn't win he would still be recognized as a major talent. What do y'all think?

[@concealedpun2135]

I think you must be joking.

[@littlebitsouthern]

Why? Don't you think he could have a chance at winning? The instruments are a little ruff looking but if the instruments were a little nicer looking and he could play about any song I think he could go far and maybe just maybe inspire someone else to try.

[@dannydine5263]

I think he probably would not be on the program because hes singing an old Skip James song instead of some modern pop hit but i could be wrong.I think hes one hard working very talented young man.Puts a new meaning to multitasking. His voice is perfect for that style of blues.

[@jimmyrussles6976]

who cares. does he benefit you

[@Pollutens]

He doesn't need that shit to be fucking AWESOME.

[@RealPranshuBajpai]

There's so much talent in the world. Makes me feel so small.

[@gripper021164]

Brilliant! Love the double bass conversion! this guy has real tallent....

[@d12bn]

Must watch share with friends

[@JungleJuiceJoey]

This guy plays three instruments better than I can eat a sandwich.

[@TheMartinSierra]

I need more of this guy

[@iroshi73]

this is a true artist and that road must understand and appreciate the talent of this guy who makes his living he and a large

[@AdamBorseti]

[@krashd]

[@OlBlueshound]

Well that's just fabulous, and he's livin' it, tres bien!

[@poopp9841]

And then there's me, who can't even sing and shower at the same time.

[@Pazaluz]

Wow. Absolutely amazed by this. What a great voice he has. And when he brings that harmonica in :o You just completely forget about how shitty the audioquality actually is.

[@bradleystrickler6609]

Very talented,love his music played at my wedding reception last weekend while he was back in Canada visiting. Check out his other work on youtube etc...and his work with Tuba Skinny.

[@sayman175]

Awesome. Love it.
