The UNLV Performing Arts Center proudly welcomes The Piano Guys - an Internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original, self-made music videos, which brought them to their major label debut album - at 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 13.
Hailing from Utah, The Piano Guys have made 35 Internet videos since joining forces a little more than a year ago, including their most recent hit video, an innovative 10-handed version of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." They have appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Today Show, Katie Couric Show, and many more.
The Piano Guys -- Jon Schmidt, piano; Steven Sharp Nelson, cello; Al Van Der Beek, music/studio; Paul Anderson, producer/videographer; and Tel Stewart, videographer/editor -- are back with a new album, The Piano Guys-Volume 2, featuring their unique take on music from Pachelbel to The Turtles to Bruno Mars.
The recording features imaginative mash-ups and arrangements that made their last album so successful, plus a few original recordings including the previously unreleased song "Berlin" as well as "Waterfall," creating an incomparable style that appeals to audiences from all walks of life and across generations.
The Piano Guys just released a music video for "Berlin" on YouTube. Inspired by a recent trip to Germany, the song combines both picturesque classical vibes and a pop/dubstep feel creating an abstract depiction of how the group felt while travelling and performing in Berlin.
