My love all things creative, artistic, inspired, etc. is well-known. As is my love for sharing. Combine the two, throw in some talented musicians… and you get this post. Enjoy 
 |
Alyssa Bernal – Absolutely stunning covers, her style is very flowing, playful, honest… umm feminine Recommended Youtube – I’m Yours [Jason Mraz], Please Don’t Leave Me [Pink], Love Story [Taylor Swift] |
 |
Richard Cheese – Creates fun/funny/skillful lounge version of pop/alt. songs. Many people have heard of this guy… Recommended – Chop Suey! [System Of A Down], Naughty Girl [Beyonce], Smells Like Teen Spirit [Nirvana], What’s My Age Again? [Blink182] |
 |
Viktoria (Vika) Yermolyeva – Gah… stunning classically trainted pianist takes on all the best hard-rock, prog, metal, and alternative you can imagine. Her adaptations are truly beautiful, she catches every nuance, every solo, every bridge from the original band and incorporates it into her tablature. Can’t say enough good things… Wow. (Great to show people who can’t appreciate the beauty of harder music until its translated to piano or something Recommended – Fade To Black [Metallica], One [Metallica], Nutshell [Alice In Chains], Raining Blood [Slayer] |
 |
Marié Digby – Talented chick built some great recognition covering various songs she likes (Lil Wayne ‘My Life’ — so unexpected Recommended – Umbrella [Rhianna], My Life [The Game + Lil Wayne], What I’ve Done [Linkin Park], Love Hurts [Incubus] |
 |
David Sides – Similar to Vika, David creates piano renditions of popular songs, but more in the vain of hip-hop and rnb. Recommended – Superstar [Lupe Fiasco], Dead And Gone [T.I.], Closer [Ne-Yo], The Climb [Miley Cyrus] |
 |
Angie Aresenault – Canadian, played in Montreal + Toronto (Cameron House!) recently… Love her Muse cover. Recommended – Starlight [Muse], Human Stain [Kamelot] |
 |
Adam Monroe – More polyrhythm piano, with absolutely killer vocals… love that he tackled a Tool single. Recommended – Vicarious [Tool], Message In A Bottle [Police], Everlong [Foo Fighters] |
 ; |
Andrew Carter – Solo cello covers. Hawtness and skills. Recommended – Skeletons [Yeah Yeah Yeahs], Bruises [Chairlift], Scenic World [Beirut] |
And some one-offs that are really interesting…
Mmm… I love covers. A beautiful variety of spins and takes on already well-done songs. Love to know if you have anything to share… Enjoy!
