We know that the U.S. Air Force knows how to fly and serve our country, but apparently, they also know how to rock as well. Deployed airmen who are members of the AFCENT Band surprised one of their fellow airmen, A1C Amber Holt, with an absolutely stunning musical medley during her deployed birthday party.
After all, there are still things to celebrate even when one is serving in the military.
Armed with just a few instruments and a lot of heart, the group performed popular hits like โRolling in the Deepโ by Adele, Jay-Z and Alicia Keysโ โEmpire State of Mind,โ and โDonโt Stop Believingโ by Journey.
And they totally nailed it.
Playing with just a guitar, a fiddle, a single hand drum, a shaker, and two vocalists, the group started with the Adele cover. The female airmen who sung the song was simply phenomenal and hit every note with a strong powerful voice as her fellow airmen clapped along and backed her on vocals.
Then her fellow airmen took over with Jay-Zโs hit while she backed him on Keysโ part.
Thatโs when the crowd got really excited and super into it. They clapped and applauded wildly when the song was over.
โThanks for letting us come play for you today,โ the male vocalist said. โHappy Birthday Amber!โ
The band then broke into โDonโt Stop Believing,โ and they slayed that song as well. Mind you, there wasnโt a single speaker or microphone in the room. It was just a handful of airmen, their instruments, and their talent.
โHey look kids! No autotune. People actually can sing,โ one YouTuber wrote. โSeriously, though this is awesome!โ
โInstead of wars, we should have singing competitions,โ another said.โ
Not only was everyone in the room completely blown away, but many on the internet were as well.
The video went viral and has more than 1.7 millions views on YouTube. It was also picked up by various media outlets. People just couldnโt get enough of all the talent shown in the AFCENT Bandโs performance.
โThat girl can wail and the Airman playing the guitar solo for โDonโt Stop,โ I know those notes are hard on an acoustic but you rocked it outโฆ the whole band together sounded stellar,โ said one YouTuber.
โPlayed that violin like a boss!!โ another said.
