Holy Locust AMAZES THE CROWD w/ Squirrel Nut Zippers COVER of "Hell" & "Ghost Of Stephen Foster"

[@thelostcosmonaut5555]

Sometimes, I dream of taking a break from "normal" society to ride the rails and play in a band like this. I love it.

[@snikklefritz3640]

Seeing those people stop the child they are with to not engage was tough. They were interested.

[@NoCatJane33]

Happens more often than not. As a busker myself, it's pretty cringe to see

[@Noway-il9up]

Those kids hold onto the memories tho. I was once a youngin mesmerized by buskers now I am one

[@bearwynn]

I think it's not that deep, I think it was because people were walking through

[@MarkWilliams-cn4lm]

Agreed...that kid was like "wait! What's this? This is super interesting!" "Come along, don't look at these rabble-rousers, we've got to go see something that mommy and daddy like."

[@tommaxwell3469]

Thumbs up from the OG Zipper

[@koconnor1963]

I saw them in New Orleans, I have them on my Spotify now, great band. Clever songs too.

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Wow! That's top notch busking!

[@rbraxley]

Heck yeah. Definitely worth a couple of coins.

[@emills1417]

Amazing, would have loved to been there in person.

[@camchave1165]

That bass solo was so freaking killer

[@ronaldoleksy8264]

Great performance. Wish I could have been there a drop few bucks for the band....

[@ashevillencbusking]

I've provided their donation link in the videos description. Thanks for watching.

[@roberttemple2521]

Great! I'm interested in the guy playing the violin. I have never seen anyone play on that side of the neck. Cool!

[@marinostrus4946]

It's because he is left handed.

[@AdamSmith-xz6fs]

Absolutely loved this!!! What fun!!

[@doomlemon]

I found these guys on Spotify recently. I absolutely love their style and energy. I wish they'd tour towards my neck of the woods

[@michaelniemann6110]

Ran across these guys playing on the street in New Orleans. Fantastic group! Love their music.

[@valentinghita1264]

Great live performance. I would love to see them in person.

[@poissonpuerile8897]

Tons and tons of energy here! I'd love to hear a proper recording of you guys!

[@krzysztofcygan7750]

They are on spotify with EP and an album.

[@johnciancarelli2633]

Well they amazed me as i am a musician. But i didn't see the crowd do anything but walk by, no money, and a little girl holding her ears but she was interested though. Awesome job.

[@fatboy1603]

People are used to dirty hippies doing dirty hippy things in Asheville.

[@Jeff-jz5sf]

Damn I'm not usually one for folk punk but these guys are fantastic

[@OracletheBand]

I'm not sure this classifies as folk punk, it's more like new Orleans style jazz

[@cehceu1913]

Incendiary performance, taking off my hat!

[@TiminNicaragua]

Amazing sounds.

[@holz_name]

they should go to Europe, here they would gather a crowd of 50+ people, oh and nobody would walk in front to distrurb

[@lecturehc]

I grew up with SNZ man, the album HOT was in constant rotation at my parents' home. This is soooo damn cool to find out, you guys swing man!

[@79Rybred]

Love this arrangement

[@kepler7652]

Молодцы ребята! Не хуже оригинала!

[@Claudia-cv6xu]

WOW! Bravo! Vielen Dank! 😎💃🕺🤗🕉💖🙏

[@pomodoro2c]

The guy's got the fastest bass-drum foot in the county.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Now this is a fun, jiggy tune!

[@lobogris6362]

realmente muyyyyyyyy bueno

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

Bravo! Peace.

[@sergiodavila5269]

Damn….that was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@blisstonia]

this video has more views than most of SNZ's live videos lol

[@drowningpooralice5505]

Not one jig was spun during this performance, people haven't a soul anymore. Look at the little girl, the spirt had her, she just didn't know what to do, then the devil pulled her back.

[@chuckomgyahoo]

F N off the hook ,tight and awesome

[@krisuler7734]

Holy fuck was there no other way for these derps to walk ? The ones walking past this gorgeous display of music ..not even acknowledging it. That was painful to see. Well, WE APPRECIATE YALL. I hope you’re all still at it 💪🏻 💜

[@ashevillencbusking]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately that's how Asheville is. Small sidewalks create the flow of traffic in front of the camera.

[@ironlady6897]

Think about it: listen to the mostly schlock music played on lamestream radio, and you can kind of get it. Most "pop" music is utter trash, has been for a long time. A great number of pop artists aren't even skillful on an instrument. Tin Ear Syndrome, I call it.

[@justanotheroglesby2847]

I guess some wish they “put a lid on it”

[@BeatdownRevival]

100% Excellent!!!

[@nelsontacy5674]

It would be so Cool to see this band and their Style at the Grammy's for just FUN.........:) Get them an Agent/Manager!!! Very Very Cool! :)

[@ironlady6897]

Why the grammys? They have some great new satanic stuff ready to drop?

[@onearmwillie]

Seems like Crust Cosplay… they have 15k worth of instruments… hahahaha

[@RobertDecker-o5j]

Not everything that skips showering and dresses like a 1915 vagabond is true crust. I appreciate the hell out of their musicianship but have always found them to be trying WAY TOO hard with the image thing. It detracts from the overall. Look at Pat the Bunny, looked like a drug taking homeless person who didn't give a fuck because... he was! Didn't need a costume.

[@stephenpearson3875]

Love these guys, miss the trumpet though

[@BomBandoNaSerra]

SHOW!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

really nice!

[@dogtownfiddler5903]

Is there a Doctor in the crowd? Cuz these Kids are Sick!!

[@Theslavedrivers]

The guy who walks by at 00:17 ~ Could he be any LESS appreciative ???

[@ipee2ordiealilbit]

🤣😂🤣

[@CJBleything1]

me, paying cash money to see these guys once before and being depressed they had to miss muddy roots and all these goons just completely unaware of the talent their walking by, damn dude :existentialcrisis:

[@yukimaruzam]

Nineteen seconds in Abe Vigoda walks by!!!!

[@awashcoconut5954]

Why the hell?, would all those folks, walk by, without even dropping a buck… sad

[@EasyWind013]

Usually what most people do is gather in a crowd and tip after, you can see their reflections in the store window. But as for some passers-by...? Maybe they are just part of the Matrix.

[@fatboy1603]

Y'all don't understand, people are used to dirty hipsters doing dirty hipster things in Asheville. No one cares because it's not special there.

[@JO-rx7go]

A lil skankin would even suffice

[@davenwatts8173]

@@JO-rx7go always works for me

[@mikem3614]

People Passing By Like There Getting Chased

[@melfjb]

Nice.

[@mr.meatbeat9894]

I thought the violinist was King Strang at first glance

[@amerocker]

Asheville cats, been playin' since theyz baybees...

[@ashevillencbusking]

They're not from Asheville. I think they're from Louisiana

[@wheezermacdonald2789]

Does anyone know if a musician needs a permit to play in the streets of Asheville? And are their many single acts? Anyone? And thank you thank you to anyone who responds.

[@ashevillencbusking]

No permits required. A lot of single acts.

[@simonhampson5082]

BUT - where is Abby????

[@ashevillencbusking]

Abby who lol? Abby is a narcissist A-hole that abandoned her community because she got famous on KZbin. She's a no talent hack who plays the same pattern on her spoons for every song. She has somehow ruined the busking scene here because it's dead now since she left. She packed up years ago and moved to Kansas. She used to be a part of the Asheville Busker Collective who fought for buskers rights to play in Asheville without permits or any restrictions. I believe she influenced a lot of buskers to never come back here. Do you know what's funny? Asheville has a paper called the Mountain Xpress who does a Best of WNC poll with awards for businesses, people, etc. She just won Busker of the Year 2024 and she hasn't performed here in years. LMFAO. Thanks Abby!
