Crazy Violinist At Penn Station


Michael Shulman  by  md9

I was walking through Penn Station yesterday and came across this guy who's name is apparently Michael Shulman. At first I just thought he was a crazy street performer. He was drawing a huge crowd so I took a closer look and realized he is, well, a crazy street performer but an incredibly talented one none the less. He was absolutely shredding this electric violin while playing samples and dancing as well as playing some covers of everything from Britney Spears to Michael Jackson. He would put his violin riffs on loop and they play on top of them. The crowd was going crazy for him.

It turns out he has a website and everything. His bio is unbelievable. He came here from Russia when he was 17 without knowing one person here or a word of English. He also doesn't practice songs and just improvs everything he does. I bought a CD from him an uploaded the tracks.
