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!!
BEAUTIFUL, JUST SO HEART WARMING...THANK YOU FOR STARTING MY DAY, IN A GOOD WAY!!!!
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 !!!
Thank you for the interview and report. Awhile back I put on all the TH-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.
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!
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.
Congratulations, Michael!!!! I remember you learning from Randy Howard at the fiddle contests. He’d be proud of you!!
Not just the best of this generation, but the best ever!
Im not crying. You are!
When i grow up someday i want to be like Michael, this fella is as cool as they come,beyond inspiring.
really awesome story... thanks for sharing...
This is a gifted 🙏 and a blessed child keep up your good work 👍
Thank yall so much for posting this.
Michael Cleveland is a living legend, probably one of the best players alive right now, if not ever!
What an amazing human. This guy is one of my favorite people . If you javent listebed to any of his interviews, do it.
Unparalleled excellence!! One of the greatest ever…
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 TH-cam?
Hands down the best fiddle player ever to live, and one of the greatest musicians of all time, thank you Michael.
He is so inspirational... probably the most inspirational musician next to Chopin to me!
Check out Michael's shows playing for Billy Strings... he's incredible!
Always makes it better when he's in the lineup.
I think he was on the whole Me/and/Dad album by Billy Strings
Unlikely fiddler says the unlikely journalist.
God bless you Sir !!! 🙏
Such a gifted fiddler 🎻♥️
Awesome congrats on this accomplishment sir you deserve it
Michael absolutely deserve this success ....
Se lo merece ❤❤❤❤
About time this genius is being recognized beyond the fans of bluegrass.
He's a great musician!
Nice. Inspirational
Love the videos I have seen on you tube with Michael and Billy Strings
Excellent reporting and well deserved. LOVE!
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.

The best fiddle player this side of Mark O’Connor!
Perfection.
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?
Cleveland is brilliant.❤❤🩹💥💯🧡💯💫
You should check out the youtube post of Michael performing ",Lee highway blues"it's great!
He's on fire
I dont think they'd be surprised.. they loved ya mikey
I want to see this guy crush it with Billy Strings.
Reminds me of Jeff Healey ❤
Bluegrass rules! I have listened to it all my life. I've seen Cleavland live. He's the real thing.
The devil knows better than to travel up to meet Michael in a fiddle contest…..He would ger SMOKED
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.
Amazing talent, but that's nothing without the hard work.
I reckon.
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.
A-Team fiddler Michael is in the Premier League of musicians. Ask any of them.
Thought that was Nathan from Southpark.
Dang he’s won a Grammy
Hes not just a decent fiddle player this man is a legend.
Same can be said about Bill Cosby.

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.
🥰🥰🥰
News is so despicable...
Yes, but does he hate Trump?
boys and girls. how puerile. give me a break. Michael Cleveland deserves a better intro.
If he's on msnbc...wldnt he be a unknown diddler?
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 🤕
The sad thing is most americans would abort such a gift from our Lord
is this the kid in that movie Diverance

Cheep shot go drink drink some more orange SLIME your 🪝 ed
RAY CHARLES WAS BETTER !!!..👈😁
He played mostly piano. Surprised you even know who Ray Charles was.
@@yvonneplant9434
SO WAS JEFF HEALEY...👈😁👍

STEVIE WONDER KILLS THIS DUDE,
AND HE'S BLAAAACK !!!...👈😁👍
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?
JEFF HEALY WAS BETTER !!!...👈😁
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 !!!...👈🤣👍
