[KISSTHECLOWN]

Michael Cleveland met the devil at the crossroads. No one knows what Michael got but the devil got fiddle lessons.

[justinjones]

That fiddle smoked a cigarette after he was done playing.

[jokersdance]

This is the default music that starts playing when you travel at light speed.

[ConsciousExpression]

If he's not the greatest of all time, I would love to hear the greatest of all time.

[gab]

No idea why I ended up here while listening to melodic hardcore, but this is AMAZING!!! Youtube algorithm works in mysterious ways.

[Chorkaloopa]

Don't worry folks, that fiddle was over 18.

[dlagrua]

Michael Cleveland is an incredible fiddle player. Super fast, clean and in perfect time. He is also legally blind.

[alterego]

His bow is strung with the finest unicorn hair available - mixed with steel wire. Ain’t no way he can cook like this and not destroy that bow in 30 seconds of sawin’. Holy cow! Play it like you stole it, son!

[youcantshimshamthezimmzamm]

The way the rest of the band looks at him while they play and his occasional smile when he goes in really hard and nails it gives me such a warm feeling. It’s impossible to be in this man’s presence and not be blown away by the absolute talent and gift he has

[Mrchadmam]

I remember when this guy was a little kid he could play just as good then I think he got to the point that it's just humanly impossible to play any better 😊

[dr.lexwinter]

The real magic is the shifting effortlessly in and out of syncopation. You know you're doing it right when the entire band are staring at you enthralled.

[zahnderofficial]

Good God. The accuracy and the speed at which he plays are simply astounding.

[the-sassy-blacksmith]

Holy crap I can't believe I've never heard this guy before, he's amazing

[FloydTheWolf]

Michael Cleveland is amazing, but that banjo player who plays at the speed of light for 4 minutes straight is jaw-dropping!

[gregoryp]

He doesn't play the music...he feels the music.

[erikgifford]

He's been awarded best fiddle player in the country for the past 10 years straight and it shows with every show. Rock on, Michael!

[TheHolypoopstick]

He protec
He Atack
Most important
He wont give the devil his fiddle bac

[mikesikora]

Both Johnny and the Devil bowed their heads because they knew they've been beat.

[merilee]

I swear he’s pulling off some optical illusion; his playing is just so … impossible. Such amazing energy and every note crisp and clear even at those break-neck speeds.

[WBUline]

I have NEVER seen a musician truly appear to be SPEAKING thru his instrument like this guy Actually unbelievable talent. He may be blind and mostly deaf, but his sense for that fiddle is ✨otherworldly✨ I was smiling the whole way through this...
