    Getting a bit dusty...



    It's a group of inner-city NY kids singing Landslide. Super poor, really horrible backgrounds. Got a new music teacher a few years back and has given them a creative outlet, where they've blossomed. Now sing requests from the Internet and have a decent following.

    Recently sang the above song. Eventually Stevie Nicks saw it, cried watching it and invited them to perform at Madison Square Garden on July 11 when Fleetwood Mac performs.

    Beats the Dixie Chicks cover, for sure. :)

    That's their homepage. There are a ton of links you can watch scattered throughout. The Hollywood 411 segments tell most of the story.

    That was an awesome performance, and I normally HATE people other than Stevie Nicks singing "Landslide." I don't even normally like Stevie Nicks singing "Landslide," but I'm just weird like that.
