Music Spotlight: The Piano Guys

In a change of pace from our normal postings here on Just Two Nerds, I wanted to share a music group that I discovered last week.  The Piano Guys have a vision to “create music and videos that inspire people”, and I think that they succeed.  The duo, which consists of John Schmidt (Piano Guy) and Steven Sharp Nelson (Cello Guy), put together a variety of music videos that cover just about any music style you can imagine.  The video production on the videos is also top-notch (check out the Peponi video for some great scenery), and is a great match to the music.

Check out the Piano Guys’ YouTube Channel for their latest releases, or view my two favorites below.

If you haven’t heard, there are many sites protesting SOPA and PIPA today.  I think the TED talk posted above does a good job of explaining the background behind SOPA/PIPA, and why they are bad ideas.  If you believe that these acts are not the solution, please make yourself heard by contacting your representative and senators.

For more information on these acts and protests, view these links below:
