His real name is Max Gleason, and his cat’s name is Charl but you probably know him better as Smooth McGroove, the acapella YouTube phenomenon with long hair and a huge beard.
I (Robin Ek, TGG) just woke up to the great news that the "Smooth McGroove Remixed 2 GameChops & Smooth McGroove" album is now available via iTunes, Google Play and Spotify =) So, check it out ;)
Sometimes we don't appreciate video game music as much as we should, but when creative fans like these musicians revisit their favorite game soundtracks, they're hard to overlook. Here are 10 video game remixers & cover artists you should follow right now.
"Smooth McGroove continues to bop and be-dop his way into our hearts with his videogame music a cappellas, this time tackling Koji Kondo’s “Overworld” music from the black sheep sequel of the Super Mario Bros. series.
Super Mario Bros. 2′s (or Super Mario USA, or Doki Doki Panic, whatever!) “Overworld” theme is the kind of chipper tune one belts out when just going on about his or her day. It’s been covered about a billion times by everyone from The Minibosses, brentalfloss and This Place is Haunted, but doggone it doesn’t it just make you dance in your chair and snap your fingers to the beat?
Grab a turnip, POW block or rocket ship and tune into the YouTube video after the break." - Patrick Kulikowski
His cat is awesome. It's become a sort of fan-game to try and spot it in every video.XD
He's a good man, good man with a good beard. You can trust this man, because he has a beard. Enough said.
