#msnbc #fiddler #blind
Michael is best known for his fiddle playing but he is equally as good at playing a mandolin, guitar, and banjo. Crazy talented.
Roy Clark was also a gifted musician who could play any string instrument.
Fiddling is an international art form criminally overlooked, undervalued, and misunderstood. As a life long fiddler, it is very gratifying when one of our own is given recognition outside of the immediate fiddle family.
Kentucky bluegrass elevated the violin to its true form: the fiddle.
"criminally overlooked, undervalued, and misunderstood" That's news to me.
@@Vicos However much love Michael gets from the fiddle and Bluegrass crowd, he deserves more. Especially, from the music world outside of our particular niche.
Mandolin, fiddle, and banjo are the Holy Trinity of mountain music.
And Michael Cleveland is a TITAN of the fiddle!!
Michael is absolutely one of the best if not the best player of our time. He can absolutely burn the strings up and play faster than you can possibly imagine, all with those disabilities. When he was a young kid he said he doesn’t see them as disabilities, but he can make do with what he has !! Amazing man !!!
We just got back from the Earl Scruggs Bluegrass Festival in Tryon NC where we saw Michael Cleveland play. Un-freaking-believable how good this guy is. It is truly amazing to see and hear him play fiddle! Seek him out to see for yourself!
BEAUTIFUL, JUST SO HEART WARMING...THANK YOU FOR STARTING MY DAY, IN A GOOD WAY!!!!
Not just the best of this generation, but the best ever!
Thank you for the interview and report. Awhile back I put on all the UA-cam videos I could find of Michael's work.
It is nice to see his name on MSNBC. 🤠
And Sierra Ferrell over on Jimmy Kimmel's show this evening. Speaks volumes for roots and bluegrass music.
Congratulations, Michael!!!! I remember you learning from Randy Howard at the fiddle contests. He’d be proud of you!!
He was so loved. It shows what the love of his family did for him. His talent was his gift and they saw he was allowed to use it.
hes not dead
An excellent piece of reporting, thank you.
Im not crying. You are!
This is a gifted 🙏 and a blessed child keep up your good work 👍
Hands down the best fiddle player ever to live, and one of the greatest musicians of all time, thank you Michael.
Michael Cleveland is a living legend, probably one of the best players alive right now, if not ever!
When i grow up someday i want to be like Michael, this fella is as cool as they come,beyond inspiring.
Michael absolutely deserve this success ....
really awesome story... thanks for sharing...
Thank yall so much for posting this.
I saw him play. The horsehairs on his bow were shredded by the end of the concert. Someone had to lead him into the stage. But after that he was a genius.
FJB and ALL democrat nazis
I hope all this fake appreciation helps you sleep at night.
You go kid
You've had this account for one day. How many times have you been kicked off UA-cam?
Check out Michael's shows playing for Billy Strings... he's incredible!
Always makes it better when he's in the lineup.
Unlikely fiddler says the unlikely journalist.
He is so inspirational... probably the most inspirational musician next to Chopin to me!
What an amazing human. This guy is one of my favorite people . If you javent listebed to any of his interviews, do it.
Love the videos I have seen on you tube with Michael and Billy Strings
He's a great musician!
Such a gifted fiddler 🎻♥️
God bless you Sir !!! 🙏
Se lo merece ❤❤❤❤
About time this genius is being recognized beyond the fans of bluegrass.
Cleveland is brilliant.❤❤🩹💥💯🧡💯💫
I want to see this guy crush it with Billy Strings.
Why call him unlikely? I get that he deals with blindness and has limited hearing but no he is not “unlikely” he is a gifted and bard working musician.
Nice. Inspirational
The best fiddle player this side of Mark O’Connor!
He's on fire
What a lovely story!
RAY CHARLES WAS BETTER !!!...👈😁
SO WAS JEFF HEALEY...👈😁👍
STEVIE WONDER, 👈😁 TOOOO !!!...
@@ketanjibrownsfavemolester7592 I can feel your hate. May you eventually recover.

Excellent reporting and well deserved. LOVE!
Bluegrass rules! I have listened to it all my life. I've seen Cleavland live. He's the real thing.
Wait to you hear Michael play guitar or mandolin... a true "string wizard."
Does he own a fiddle of gold he got from beating the Devil in a duel?
Amazing talent, but that's nothing without the hard work.
Perfection.
A-Team fiddler Michael is in the Premier League of musicians. Ask any of them.
I dont think they'd be surprised.. they loved ya mikey
Reminds me of Jeff Healey ❤
Thought that was Nathan from Southpark.
Why unlikely?
He's not just blind and deaf, he was diagnosed with a neurological disorder as a child that's supposed to affect the way the left and right side of his body communicates. Essentially he wasn't supposed to be able to coordinate what his left and right side was doing. That being coupled with being blind and deaf would have prevented probably anybody else from achieving this level the musicianship.
I reckon.
Dang he’s won a Grammy
MC might be better than Stuart Duncan, Mark O’Connor or Kenny Baker Amazing talent.
Better? Comparable. First time I encountered Michael was in the 1990s jamming with Art Stamper at Bean Blossom, Indiana, at Bill Monroe's festival. I think he was around nine or ten at the time.
Hes not just a decent fiddle player this man is a legend.
News is so despicable...
Same can be said about Bill Cosby.
Bruh

Yes, but does he hate Trump?
🥰🥰🥰
boys and girls. how puerile. give me a break. Michael Cleveland deserves a better intro.
is this the kid in that movie Diverance
If he's on msnbc...wldnt he be a unknown diddler?
The sad thing is most americans would abort such a gift from our Lord
Poor child being tortured like that.
Michael plays at a lot of the bluegrass events we attend. I have met him backstage. As a fellow fiddler, he just blows me away with his techniques and style. He really is amazing, they didn't show much of his technical fiddling.
Projecting much?
Ray Charles was better..👈😁
This guy LOVES TRUMP, you can tell
in his playing...👈😁.. 🇺🇸...
Because he's good?
"Loves Trump"? Americans have a strange taste! ;-)
@@erichnussbaum how is it strange to want a better president?
@@erichnussbaum keep fighting for your sith empire or a brave new world or whatever. I hope you end up in the dirt.
The brother just had to much orange koolaid 🤕

FJB and the Jan 6 Big Lie
Tucker Carlson was right about the Jan 6 Big Lie
@Ερμής Τρισμέγιστος The video shows that the Democrats have been lying this entire time. There's nothing to spin, the truth has been revealed.
The entire world spent hours was watching it on the day it occurred, 1/6/21.
@Ερμής Τρισμέγιστος classic non American democrat funded fake unfed bot
But is he vaccinated and more importantly, 4x boosted?
😆🤡
Yes, he was,.
Ruhle is on powerful mood-altering drugs ... very disturbing
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!...👈🤣👍
