Guy singin' in the Disrupt shirt, I rode freight trains with that kid. Matt's an amazing musician. So is the rest of his band. Glad to see he found a group to play with him. I remeember when we were traveling, Yes Ma'am was just him and the random musicians who could play with him. Wonder where he's at now.

[@christinehoolihan7433]

FLIPP'N Amazed!!!!!! this sound does truly pluck the chord of every ERTHLING to attention. thank You for the continuim.

[@russelljazzbeck]

I love this

[@sadiekins10]

I'm going to new orleans in a couple months and stumbled across yes maam and Matt randomly while looking for street music and now I'm obsessed. Little worried because all of the videos seem to be from over 10 years ago. I know they just released a new album a few days ago but I'd love to know if they're gonna be in NOLA while I'm there.

[@PotRoast666]

@@sadiekins10 if I remember correctly I think he’s touring the west coast at the moment. I’m not 100% what his dates or tour even looks like, or if he’s just out there for the time being.

[@sadiekins10]

Yeah I saw that too. From what I saw they're not touring in October so maybe just maybe they'll be there

[@Amber-jk5dy]

I can't stop watching this video. For the last twenty years or so I've been listening to music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, thinking all great music has been done and kids these days have nothing to offer. This video proved me wrong. Feelin' Bob Dylan vibes from the look of this band. Love the heart in their music.

[@SlitchBatty]

Cajun Spirit! The South ain't dead yet AmberBamber!!!

[@SlitchBatty]

I think it's a little too hot out for that husky dog in Nawlins'

[@user-sh5qv5kv1r]

Please never take this down. It's my favorite version and I can only see them here. 💖

[@TheTortle22]

I saw these guys for the first time today. I was instantly a fan.

[@MrUsaer]

Just so much talent that jells into one fine sound.That little violinist just stole my heart with her sweet strings. Guess i need to get to the quarter more often. heyyyyyyyyy thats my wife's pink suitcase!!!!!! Choot em liz!!!

[@flyinfreakflag]

I love this version best...so glad this video was made of great quality. Must have been the acoustics in that area and the band just totally jived that day because this one rocked.

[@gaelixpiper]

I dream with a place like this one in my country. Thanks for upload this video and a lot of thanks for this people who plays this great music in the streets. Gretts from Catalonia. Hope I'll go one day to Nova Orleans.

[@juliansmith9667]

love the violin on this one

[@robertlennon5785]

This is AMAZING !Beautiful.

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

Never really dug string until I came across this one. Been coming back for years. Really good stuff.

[@mbracken9494]

Buy our brand new album "bless this Mess" New yes maam album available here yesmaam.bandcamp.com/ Thanks for the support!

[@o1nanwlokk]

M Bracken Done!

[@sadiekins10]

Kind of a long shot especially considering this is a 10 year old post but any chance you guys have plans to play in NOLA in October? I stumbled across you guys and now I can't get enough. Already listened to the brand new album even...gonna order a copy ASAP. Really into the vibe and the sound, I can relate to a lot of the lyrics. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you when I'm in town!

[@katieodom3540]

I saw this group at the French quarter festival this year. Awesome. How come the radio is filled with garbage that plays over and over, and not real talent like this?

[@kentbeery8653]

Defne is Frigging Awesome

[@Sonnyskookoo]

I just stumbled upon this clip and I looooved it!!! I wish I could see this in person.

[@MungoPoPo]

Sweet, sweet music to the ear and my soul! Sing it brother!

[@daveo138]

I just can't stop listening to this!

[@kevingreen1311]

Wow that was great. I'm hooked. Brings back memories of me playing a tea box with a broom stick as a bass when I was a kid a looong time ago. Got to listen to you all again. Thanks Kevin

[@andaloo]

really enjoyed that, normally flick to another video after a minute or so but with this, it was the end before i realised..

[@Javier78521]

The camera looks in on the dog resting his head on the street - essentially the world - when Matt is singing "the Weight of the World." The timing is perfect. ;)

[@CdeezGutsB]

What a great performance! Really enjoy y'alls sound!

[@roostersauce1]

saw these guys when I was down there this past weekend. Bought their album, they're awesome.

[@Musicforthewin123]

[@MichiganWater]

The world needs more songs about hedgehogs.

[@mbracken9494]

MichiganWater "theres gotta be something in my head child, I just cant seem to find"hahaha everyone thinks its hedgehog!

[@MichiganWater]

M Bracken Haha, yeah, I actually asked you about that lyric last year when I saw you guys on Royal. It may be head child, but it'll always be hedgehog to me. hahaha. Missed you this year during french quarter fest! Serenity now!

[@FireinTheBowl]

[@aicota]

[@hannanathan564]

[@konsumer]

[@spacether]

[@davegross1]

Why this group doesn't own a recording contract is a complete mystery!!

[@leerzeichner]

Hey man you are so right!!!

[@denden101z]

I saw them in Seattle I should of bought their CD

[@closingem]

perfect

[@LUCG]

Matt's voice ........ !!!!!!

[@ryanries09]

This is bad ass.

[@DaneBadenhorst]

Holy shit this is awesome

[@SlitchBatty]

He got strong voice

[@SlitchBatty]

Sounds like old Master Ragdale in Old Virginia

[@nicklocantore7157]

I found there facebook page and you can download the album from it!!

[@lliambunter]

Where did the youth playing the 'bass' go . definitely a very talented group ,in particular the singer, nice to see such great talent doing it for the love of music ,rather than the money ,well done. pity the stones and the money grabbing beatles don't take a page from their book, infact neither of those groups would last a minute against the musicians.

[@onieznajomy9553]

super muzyka i fajny wyluzowany swiat

[@ShotTower1]

Anyone remember the film "Robots"? It really sounds like a song from that.

[@samueldegrandi4125]

The male to female ratio is acceptable.

[@henryseidel5469]

What is the name of the violinist ? She is absolutely great !

[@chuchadebebe]

[@zzzpht]

He's sleeping. Dogs do that. They don't appreciate good music and easily get bored.

[@babamanga1674]

And who are we to blame them?

[@beergoggleprophet]

Just enjoy the song

[@nigelbilsby3826]

Would love to ask the washboard player what is she using to play it, is it finger picks?

[@mbracken9494]
