A small-town country boy is now taking the national stage. If you’re a fan of The Voice, then you know Avery Robertson wowed the judges during his audition this season. This country crooner turns all four chairs with, ‘Tim McGraw’s If You’re Reading This’ song.
But Avery didn’t do what most anxious singers do. He didn’t try to exercise and show off every octave of his voice. He didn’t scream the lyrics, or belt out any extra tunes. He didn’t even run around the stage to capture the attention of millions watching.
He simply let his God-given gift of song fill the air. As if he was taking a deep breath or settling into his favorite comfy chair, Avery was calm, relaxed, and gave the audition the best of his ability.
Granted, his audition was during the blind performances but here’s the thing, the way he performed turned all four chairs of the judges. The first to approve of his performance was John Legend, followed within mere seconds by Kelly Clarkson. Both John and Kelly knew instantly Avery had the talent. Eventually, Blake Shelton gave his approval vote and as the last few notes of the song hung in the air, Nick Jonas voted in favor of Avery too.
So, what’s a young country singer to do when he has his choice of all four judges to coach him to the finish line? Does he pick Kelly with her experience as a country singer who crossed over into pop? Or what about the country boy, Blake Shelton? After all, Blake’s songs have topped the country music charts for years with lyrics and beats that resonate with his fan base. It appears that Avery didn’t even consider pop icons, Nick and John. Even though he never dreamed of winning over all four judges, Avery went with Blake as a strategic move to win the show!
Whether or not he wins this season of The Voice, there is no doubt, we won’t be seeing the last of Avery. His incredible voice is a gift that needs to be shared with this world! We’re rooting for you, Avery!
“May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy” (Psalm 132:9).
Check out these two talented street performers who sing a beautiful duet just moments after meeting each other for the first time! The song they perform together is ‘Make You Feel My Love’ by Adele.
“When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear, and there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love”
Such incredible voices from these two! As they are performing, people are gathered around and captivated by the pair, taking videos on their phones of the musical treat.
The female in the video is Allie Sherlock, and she shares videos on her YouTube page of her street performances around Ireland. The guy who is playing the guitar is named Seamus Harty.
“This is the 1st time I met this guy playing on the streets in Cork and we decided to do a few songs together,” writes Allie in the caption of this YouTube video.
“What a voice. What a song. Wonderful!” writes someone on YouTube after watching the video.
“Wow this is so powerful! Your voices blend so well together! Hope to see you live someday!” comments another person online.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.

Who knew that “Let It Be” by The Beatles would be one of the most performed and beloved songs more than 50 years later! This song, without a doubt, has captured the whole world and people like Andreas Mac continue to remind us. This street performer stuns the crowd singing, “Let It Be” cover on the sidewalk in Dublin.
Andreas Mac is a gifted artist. When you combine his passion with his piano playing skills and his voice, it is a crowd-stopper! The video starts off with Andreas informing the crowd that he will be performing that classic cover and invites them all to sing along with the chorus.
“I’d like to do a song by Paul McCartney that was written while he was still with The Beatles. Please feel free to sing along. Of course, it’s pretty easy it just goes… Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. So join me if you’d want,” he said.
Before he plays one tune on the piano, a crowd gathers despite the busy shoppers briskly walking from one shop to the next. But they stop and whip out their phones, eager for a musical delight to brighten their day. In fact, the familiar notes are already making people smile. Soon more and more people stop as if the rich notes of this classic hit are a beacon.
But when Andreas begins to sing, a hush comes over the crowd. They are stunned! Who knew that a performer singing in the streets of Dublin would have such incredible, raw, talent? No one apparently, judging by the looks of awe gathered around him. Soon the crowd joins in on the chorus and continues to sing to the end, letting Andreas take the lead of course.
And once he’s done, the mesmerized crowd lingers eager to hear more. Wouldn’t you? Well done, Andreas! We hope to see more from you!
“I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Psalm 13:6
The band Misty is back and you won’t believe your ears as these three bass singers perform ‘The Sound of Silence.’ Now if you don’t know anything about these guys, let me introduce you to Dash, Conner, and Henry. These sweet guys with giftedly deep voices say they forged their band after getting tired of singing in their own bathrooms.
One afternoon the group met up to hang out when they stumbled upon a tunnel that took their low octaves onto a whole new level. So, when they finally had a chance to get together after social distancing due to COVID, the trio jumped at the chance and opted to record ‘The Sound of Silence’ because they’ve been “itching” to perform this beloved song.
As the notes begin to play and these gentlemen begin to sing this 64-year-old hit, it would have astounded Simon and Garfunkel. Their deep octaves rattle and soothe the soul all at once! The trio has gained fans and two thumbs up for their rendition of this beloved cover song.
One listener commented, “I’m so in love with y'all's tones, like they're all unique and recognizable but not in a way that makes it weird when you all sing together. So cool and admirable. I also really appreciate that you didn't go extreme emo/epic . . . but you also took the cover away from the original version that almost sounded like it didn't take its own lyrics seriously…”
Another listener stated, “Listen, Conner's deep tones already give me chills..”
Another fan with musical experience says it all, “The chest vocal range in this video is A1-C#5 for you music nerds who always ask.” Apparently, not only does the band perform a stunning cover of this beloved song, we learn they did so with only four octaves. How incredible is that? I’m looking forward to their next song, regardless of whether it’s a cover or an original, I think we can all agree, we can’t wait!
“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live” Psalm 104:33
Husband and wife, Caleb and Kelsey Grimm, take us back in time with this stunning rendition of the beloved tune, ‘Always On My Mind.’
This classic song has been recorded by dozens of artists, but Willie Nelson’s 1982 version might be the most famous of them all. In fact, Willie’s rendition resulted in three Grammy awards including Song of the Year, Best Country Song and Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
“And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you're mine”
Caleb and Kelsey Grimm are an incredibly talented married Christian duo. Known by their stage name, Caleb + Kelsey, these two powerhouse vocalists have brought us brilliant worship covers and secular favorites such as ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ and ‘My Heart Will Go On.’ Their videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views across social media and they continue to use their God-given talents to sing praises to His Name.
Today, Caleb + Kelsey are belting out to the words ‘Always On My Mind’ and it’s the perfect dose of country nostalgia.
“Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind”
Every time I hear this song, my mind drifts away to another place and time. This cover is one of the most soothing renditions I’ve ever heard and, now, I’m waiting for Caleb + Kelsey’s next cover performance.
Enjoy a brand new take on a classic as this bluegrass family band performs the ABBA hit, ‘Mamma Mia.’ This iconic song was an instant hit for the Swedish pop band back in 1975. It quickly climbed to the top of the music charts and became cemented as one of the most popular songs of all time.
From Broadway musicals to blockbuster movies, ‘Mamma Mia’ is known all around the world.
“Mamma Mia here I go again
My, my how can I resist you?
Mamma Mia does it show again
My, my just how much I've missed you”
Today, ‘Mamma Mia’ is getting a unique makeover from The Petersens.
The Petersens are a family band from Branson, Missouri. This bluegrass ensemble has traveled all around the world sharing their musical talents, but you can normally find them at home in Branson.
For ten seasons, The Petersens have performed at the Little Opry Theatre in the Branson IMAX Entertainment Complex.
Just listen as they belt out these iconic lyrics in a truly memorable way.
“Yes I've been brokenhearted, blue since the day we parted
Why? Why? Did I ever let you go?
Mamma Mia now I really know
My, my I could never let you go”
On YouTube, the group shared that ‘Mamma Mia’ was a heavily requested song, so they decided to challenge themselves with their very own rendition. After hearing so many covers of this song over the years, it’s refreshing to see this completely new take on the classic. Who else was singing along with this beloved tune?
Check out this chilling duet of two talented brothers singing the song ‘Tears In Heaven’ by Eric Clapton.
“Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same? If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
‘Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven”
The two brothers in this music video are Clint and Bob, and they make up the group Music Travel Love. The pair is performing this song at the top of a mountain with incredible views behind them. It is just the two of them, their voices, two guitars, and one microphone. And the whole performance is just simple, serene, and peaceful.
The brothers’ voices blend so well together as they sing ‘Tears In Heaven,’ and it is beautiful to see the surrounding landscape around them as you listen to the song. The video shows scenes from above them as well as fluffy clouds that are capping off the mountain top that they are standing on.
Clint and Bob are from Canada and have been performing since the early age of 4 years old. Over the course of their career, they have sold over six million records, recorded 7 albums, and have Gold and Platinum records in 32 countries.
In 2015, the brothers released a single called ‘Goodbye Baby’ on The Highway Sirius XM that charted in the top 20. And in 2018, the duo started Music Travel Love and began their journey traveling around the world setting up their studio to create music outdoors. They share their music adventures on their YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this calming rendition of ‘Tears In Heaven’ by the group Music Travel Love. May you have a peaceful and blessed day!
A couple celebrates their 67th wedding anniversary with joyful tears while enjoying the sweet serenade of a violin.
Love is in the air. Can you smell it? If not, you can definitely see the love shared between these two. The couple, both almost 90-years-old met at the tender age of 15. Now, many years later, they get to continue celebrating the life they have lived together with this monumental landmark. Sixty-seven years is a long time to be married. What a blessing!
What makes this serenade such a treat was its surprise planning. The couple’s daughter lives with her family in Utah. She decided to give her parents a thoughtful gift for their anniversary. The reason she decided on a violin serenade had special meaning too.
When her parents were younger, her mother played the violin as part of an orchestra. Her father took her mother to many of those practices and stayed to listen. This serenade then was not only a surprise but a reminder of their formative teenage years when their love first began to spring.
In the video, the mother sits in a chair, and the father stands behind her with one hand on her shoulder. Their eyes lock onto the musician playing, Daniel Morris. When he finishes, both deliver applause to the artist.
Watching the couple tear up as they listen naturally causes an emotional response in the viewer. They appear to be not just happy but thankful, so thankful for all those youthful days that led to that very moment.
They talk after the music is finished playing, though their words are inaudible. What is clear are the smiles on their bright faces.
The musician, Daniel Morris, uploaded the video to his Facebook page saying, “A true love story❤️ This couple almost 90 years old, was celebrating their 67th anniversary! @tam5boyz and her family that live in Utah, set this serenade up for their parents here in CA. They met when she was 15❤️ , and she used to play violin in orchestra. He would take her to all her practices and sit in the audience listening 🎻.”
May the love witnessed in this video drive us to love the people around us more earnestly. May we also reflect with joy on the fact that if this love is indeed rich, deep, and true, then God’s love is even greater. That gives us plenty of reason to be thankful.
