Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper Appalachian Evening 2019

[@fox5411]

Just in case anyone could forget him, coming in at about 4’10”, blind and deaf in his left ear still the best and strongest fiddler in America‼️

[@williamspedale3164]

The best fiddler on earth!

[@carolynjw1955]

Amen!

[@cherylwilliams904]

...On Earth....best fiddler on earth....☺️... never will be better....ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

[@larrycounce4509]

@@williamspedale3164 yes sir!

[@rogeroconnell7691]

Thats not even the miracle with him. He has a condition that to my knowledge should mean that he shouldn't be able to do this. Something to do with the left and right side of the brain being able to send commands to his hands. I'm not exactly sure but the specialists can't explain how he's doing this.

[@jfdb59]

I always get a kick out of watching how impressed other fine musicians are that play with Michael. Born blind, almost deaf in his left ear and yet IBMA fiddle player of the year 11 times. What an inspiration for anyone that wants to excel despite adversity.

[@deeroyc9275]

Hey, Just a huge shout out to you all. I found this because of me stumbling onto Micheal Cleveland and since the first video I was hooked. What a gifted man! What a group you all are! Keep on making us tap our feet, dance in and out of our chairs. LOVE IT!

[@fox5411]

A great lesson to almost everyone, not to worry about what you don’t have but to make the best of what you’ve got cause it might be better than anyone else . Thanks Michael !

[@catherinehazur7336]

Michael can also play Mandolin, banjo and guitar close to as good as he is on fiddle. Phenomenally Gifted by God the Creator, no other explanation for it. If there is a better fiddle player in the world, I haven't heard it

[@SwissBanjo]

Amen!

[@kenblair8268]

Michael and his band definitely deserve all of the accolades. They've worked so very hard to earn the recognition for their talents. Hats off to the sound crew. Amazing!

[@winsteinprovence429]

BE CAREFUL, GENIUS !!!! (from France) !! THANK YOU SO GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@Tdogmoneyboy]

I am honored to watch this man kill it! So much talent,looks like he is just letting the music go through him🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@justifiedFaith209]

One of the most gifted fiddlers we've ever seen.

[@Tasmanaut]

one of? Name a single other more gifted player of any stringed instrument, because I haven't heard one.

[@BornAgainOneHope]

@@Tasmanaut the only one that comes close in my estimation is Tommy Emmanuel on the acoustic guitar. But Cleveland is truly of a whole other tier.

[@lesly9101]

A truly One of a Kind - Top of the World Fiddle Player! (His Band is great too, of course!)

[@mandyedwards6124]

Wow, you are all so amazing. Sounds terrific. Well done from the land down under.

[@user-qt1hj6ct3y]

GREAT show. Just found you guys tonight - Flamekeeper magically appeared in my feed and I watched it. Didn't get enough, so here I am. Im just amazed - Michael is a wonder, but you guys are fantastic as a band too. Great chemistry, great music and I love watching/hearing it all.

[@freddyg1692]

Such a beautiful sound! Love me some fiddle!

[@twgibbs3]

You can just tell those other guys playing with Michael are in awe.

[@ivansilver2252]

fantastic group and fiddler!

[@WhisperJetAmerica]

[@tangopapajuliet9469]

Unbelievable. Great talent.

[@youtubeseagull]

his solo around 6 min is extraordinary, sounds like a food gasm and i can totally relate.

[@rhomegrown]

18:28 Great rendition of "Too Late for Goodbyes" by Julian Lennon

[@gorillaspawn6071]

[@brettking8772]

Yes, sir!

[@cinemabookstudio1263]

They don’t move too much, because they pass all their nerve and energies to all the muscles and tendons from shoulders to fingers, and then they move those in a supernatural way!

[@jakejarvis1148]

My god that boy can fiddle.

[@laurettafetta]

What is the name of the song at 15:00 min in?? I’ve heard it and I’m blanking on the name! Thanks! 🙏

Blue Violet Waltz.

The person who disliked this really needs help... no hate😁

[@MrMatchboxman]

We call it bluegrarse in the uk. lol

[@DL-cb8bh]

Not up north we don't. And that's a double negative.

[@firebird866]

I've got a ROCK in my driveway with more personality than the entire stage combined. BUT... it can't ROLL like they can so 6 of one or half a dozen of another! Choice's choice's choice's.....

[@tunatuna6723]

Theses dudes are a bucket of laughs, but the crowd was absolutely dead...there's only so much they can do.

[@firebird866]

@@tunatuna6723 You can't blame the crowd. I'm part of the crowd! The crowd ain't there to put on a show, we are here to experience one. Good music and dull conversation is awkward my friend... The crowd is reacting not preforming! I'll take the blame.... Now, feel better?

[@chriswolfe403]

I wonder if the single dislike took a screen shot and hung it on their wall as some sort of trophy to their jerkiness.

[@jfdb59]

OR... it just came up in someone's feed and bluegrass isn't their taste. Why do people think a dislike is always some sort of personal thing? Likes and dislikes is how we curate our feeds.

[@chriswolfe403]

make sure to get this response on something with a matte finish so you can see it on your wall wherever you are in the room.

[@jfdb59]

@@chriswolfe403 huh? That is the stupidest comment I've read in a while. I made a valid point. Deal with it. I'm a HUGE bluegrass fan, but I don't get butthurt when other's aren't because I don't care what others listen to. All I'm saying is that someone "disliking" a video doesn't make them a "jerk". Grow up kiddo.

[@Vicartje]

Great musicians, love the music! But why are they wearing suits and ties? Denim overalls is the signature clothing style for Hillbilly bluegrass isn't it? The podium with that god awful curtain... Looks like the stage for a funeral. Get rid of the curtain, throw down a few hay-bails and a wooden barrell, would make the atmosphere a lot better. And seats should be forbidden for the public. It's supposed to be a dance party, not a philharmonic orchestra performance!

[@ker331]

most of the time bluegrass musicians are wearing suits. at least in concerts

[@gorillaspawn6071]

Shut up and listen.

[@Tasmanaut]

bluegrass is the serious, highly technical side of 'hillbilly' music. Your comment about what they should wear is ridiculous. It is both an insult to bluegrass as a serious music form and to Appalachian culture. You obviously don't know much about the history of Appalachian folk music in general. If you're interested in 'real' hillbilly music, this isn't it. It's also fantastic and it's not a joke that requires a stereotypical outfit to play.

[@Shasta69]

There is no such thing as hillbilly music. The term is used by assholes who are mind numbed by hip hop and rap crap.

Anakin Skywalker on bass!
