Hi everyone! I just returned from The Piano Guys concert, which was absolutely amazing. They're just a couple of dads from Utah, jamming on the piano and the cello. Something about their music is different to me. Even though all music touches lives and brings people together, The Piano Guys somehow do it even more. The title of this blog post clearly shows that I'm a choir queer, and from that perspective (aka a more critical ear), this music is worthy of praise. (I found myself unknowingly conducting during the show!) Their style of combining popular music that we all recognize from the radio with timeless classical music is mind-numbing, moving, and just plain awesome. These are some of my favorite songs of theirs....check them out!
