Boyce Avenue took a trip in Doc Brown’s time machine to 1995 for their latest cover. Name by Goo Goo Dolls was the song that originally launched the 90′s band into the spotlight, and now Boyce Ave is bringing them back with their new acoustic cover of the song that is trending.
Remember the inspiring street artist who performed a beautiful rendition of the Goo Goo Doll’s hit single Iris? You know, the guy who played the guitar with his feet because he has no hands?
Well, the Goo Goo Dolls themselves saw the viral star in action, and were so moved, they invited George Dennehy to come to their concert and perform the very same song on stage with them in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
George Dennehy is like all other musicians in the world. He loves music and wants to make people happy with talent. But one thing separates him for his guitar playing peers. He has no arms.
But that didn’t stop him from following his dreams, and he now plays guitar with his feet. And he’s pretty good too.
His performance of Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls at the Strawberry Faire last June has just gone viral now after being featured on Reddit.
Two months ago, online musician Austin Criswell covered the Goo Goo Doll’s 1998 emotional hit Iris. But only over the weekend did his touching ukulele cover go viral, amassing over 140,ooo views in the past few days.
