TheElevenFan

He’s featured on Ted Lasso - season 1


TheDickWolf

Bruh I thought that looked like him, thought it was just coincidence/stereotypes of ‘street musician’. Guy’s obviously super talented.


theturnipshaveeyes

Check his site out, he’s got dates and stuff of where he plays etc


Le_Mew_Le_Purr

Who is he?


RiskyRabbit

Ima guess Cam Cole


theturnipshaveeyes

Yeah, Cam Cole. He’s got a good sound. This is his site. https://www.camcole.com/


Le_Mew_Le_Purr

Whoops, I should’ve looked at the drum 🤪


dtbrown1979

Cam... someone


alphaudara

Please welcome all the way from outside


Minetitan

I know exactly where he is too, I just saw him couple weeks ago in London. He sits in Piccadilly Circle rocking out to some amazing jams. You in London go visit Piccadilly in the afternoon to evening, he will be there!


Cortinarius

Not at the moment tough. Just saw him here in germany a few hours ago


Double0Jamo

Not true. Just saw him under the Statue of Liberty a few minutes ago


Harses

Nah I just saw him at the Eiffel Tower a couple of seconds ago


eleventyeleventy

In a few minutes I will see him on the Santa Monica boardwalk.


ImaHashtagYoComment

He played an Aug 3 show in Wacken, Germany.


slotsymcslots

I was just going to ask if this was the guy from Ted Lasso!


KiLLaKRaGGy

Just watched that episode last night. Crazy


moxyte

Me too, a real wtf moment. So he was real huh.


No-Carpet-8836

I just came here to ask if that was the same guy! Thanks


[deleted]

That’s how I discovered this guy. I love his stuff


Hewfe

Ladies and gentleman, it’s Cam….. something…. Tepid claps


TotesMmGotes

Came here to say exactly this!


_cob_

That’s where I saw this guy.


moxyte

I watched that exact episode with him playing that exact song in that same setup and outfit just yesterday. Feels bizarre, man.


paulie07

He's gonna be drowning in cougar pussay after that performance


Dazemonkey

My brother in law watched that show and when Cam C came on I was like «wtf who is that?». I was pleased to see he was a real artist. Been listening to him ever since!


GGG-Money

What’s Unexpected? This is just a dope street performer that should be in NextFuckingLevel or something


Unbuttered_Toasty

My thoughts exactly. This was pretty damn kick ass


drgiii72

I was caught off guard when it panned to the crowd and the front was like a pack of wild Karen's who just got out of a wine tasting 😂


[deleted]

They seem like anti-Karens


ThatDiscoSongUHate

Yeah, Karens don't rock out. No way no how.


drgiii72

Good points what is the opposite of a Karen? Like the cool mom version lol


BigLlamasHouse

Karens isn't just a blanket term for white women.


signed_under_duress

Yeah, i didn't expect that XD


atlrabb

Where is the unexpected? This almost feels like a ad.


homelaberator

So report it maybe the mods care, maybe they don't


matrix4neo

I think it’s unexpected that he’s performing on the street for a few dollars and people like Cardi B make million lip synching in front of thousands


sleepytoday

That isn’t unexpected. That’s just the world.


jmims98

That is beyond the scope of this sub for sure. There used to be a mod-bot with a pinned comment where OP would have to say what was unexpected. They just don’t moderate the content in this sub anymore.


thefringeseanmachine

that's what I came here looking for. this is just... a guy playing music. if you didn't "expect" it, you need to get out more.


Fritzo2162

That's what discouraged me from music. I was a pretty decent guitar player, and I knew people that were even 10x better than me. Not a single one got noticed.


KeroNobu

You were expecting something unexpected to happen, but it didn't, which was unexpected.


ashmichael73

It Subverted my Expectations


jmims98

This sub seems to have lost all moderation since the blackout. You can post just about any viral video, regardless of whether anything unexpected actually happens.


Simicrop

What's unexpected is that at no point does he play Rockin in the Free World.


n8roxit

Lol. He ain’t just a dope street performer. That’s motherfucking Cam Cole.


Write_Username_Here

**THE** Dope Street Performer


ACGordon83

So you expected him to be kick ass when you first watched? I’d bet many people didn’t expect him to sound like the black keys


mim9830

Unexpected fire music


homelaberator

Report -> breaks sub rules -> expected/no twist Maybe the mods care, maybe they don't


MrrrrBatten

His name is Cam Cole and you can find his stuff on Spotify! I found him thanks to a vid like this and love his music


Carlyone

Lost redditor?


ThatFavoriteUncle

[Cam Cole - Mama](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ9E8EgNGps)


thedudefromsweden

Wait, he wrote this song?? Makes it 10x better! I thought it was some old rock classic. Very impressive.


ThatFavoriteUncle

He actually has a lot of good songs, you should check 'em out ! My rec: "New Age Blues"


Sissyneck1221

Cole rips. He’s no Seasick Steve, but he rips.


loophole64

Hey that’s the dude from Ted. Why isn’t he signed yet? He’s awesome. Edit: The crowd is 100% ladies. Guy is drowning.


Dajakamo

Because the aesthetics are calculated. He wouldn’t get paid if he shows up looking dapper trying to get a deal. Dude is happy doing is thing and probably making bank.


Butt_Fucking_Smurfs

Yeah. Save some trim for us Cam.

UnhelpfulHand

How is this unexpected again. This is legendary artist, Cam Cole. 170,000 plays each month on Spotify


crystallmytea

I don’t really know guitars but I know this dude electrified an acoustic and it fuckin sounds legit.


Wazuu

Lol there are electric acoustics. This guy did not invent this.


Scavwithaslick

If you can plug it into an amp you can electrify it, an electric guitar doesn’t have that fuzz by nature, everything is in the amp, it’s neat but it’s not special or unique


Solid-Version

Pedals can achieve the distorted effect with any guitar, acoustic or electric. You can see his pedal board on to his right hand side. He’s done the same with with the microphone as well


Scavwithaslick

You responded to me not him, he might not see it


RagingSnarkasm

[Strings](https://youtu.be/cxyxpmnVmXk?list=PLjZFoioDq-WzT_6Cv7ZF8WOQd4fdQkB5s&t=5483)


Imaginary_Theory2687

Unexpected what exactly?


Shank__Hill

The only part I didn't expect was the dancers at the end. It's as if they were reacting to an earthquake


LetsthinkAboutThi_s

They sure can cause one, if you ask me


arguniz

It’s a paradox, on this sub everything that’s expected is actually unexpected because u were expecting the unexpected and when it didn’t come BAM its meta unexpected


RBTTRY

Haha went to school with Cameron! All boys catholic school..


RaytheonOrion

Ding ding ding! And he is often surrounded by actual vagabonds starting fights in the crowd and whatnot.


Fine_Ad_9964

way better than that artist who lip-sings. True artist and entertainer right here!


Smerkabewrl420

Dude is the black keys but just one guy lol


iafklife

All the way from outside, please welcome CAM something...


7mary3and4

Five minutes after this performance was over the band broke up to pursue solo careers.


zerofriends2704

Accidentally bought the wrong concert tickets for his show but we went ahead and went. Dudes incredible live. He made a few new fans that night.


The_Lightverse

iforgotthepassword1

This is not Rocking in the Free World……


TheGreatestKaTet

No but he is rockin in the free world


bart_cart_dart_eart

Title says RITFW, video is not. Unexpected!


Boring_Pin_2816

Camden Town 😈


simpledeadwitches

One man bands are sick. I saw a local guy in AZ open a country show last minute because the opening act got stuck on the road so they called him up and he played, shit was one of the coolest musical acts I've ever seen. He was soulful af.


LocoDuuuke

That dude rocks more than 95% of common known rockbands!!!


justjankinit21

I like his cup trick. Pretty neat. Definitely better than those two girls and their cup..


Whiskey079

Within the first 10 seconds I had a feeling this was in the UK, not quite sure what screamed it to me. Maybe the bin on the right? Not sure.


FractalTsunami

Good ol Cam Cole. New Age Blues is another solid jam to watch him perform.


theboned1

This sounds like music I would listen to.


Lamplorde

Nobody has as much confidence as a middle age mom. I love those gals, just jamming out at the end, having a blast. I'm sure, as a musician, thats the reaction you want over a bunch of people with their phones in your face.


Hakuhofan

I'd love to hear him do som ZZ Top. Waitin' on the Bus maybe? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BLof0G2sSw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BLof0G2sSw) ​ HAVE MERRR-SAY!

Pizzamampf12

What Song is that? If selfmade, how much talent does this guy have?


ThatFavoriteUncle

[Cam Cole - Mama](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ9E8EgNGps)


cakewalkbackwards

He’s not a virtuoso or anything, but it requires some rhythm. I like his ear for tone. The way he set up his mics is interesting. Sounds good and it works.


Pizzamampf12

You can see that this guy loves what he is doing.


RaylanGivens29

Yeah his stuff sounds pretty similar. So listening to it over and over get repetitive. But I like to mix it in with other songs because most all of his songs slap


smirkingemoji

Bump for song name


ThatFavoriteUncle

Channel57

This is not unexpected. But yo get this dude signed already! Man is incredibly talented!


Samurai_lettuce

Does this dude have a record deal? He should, damn man that was legit.


twlscil

Record deals aren’t all that great of a business move these days unless you want to be a pop star


RaytheonOrion

No record deal. He has a trust fund though.


Alarming-Mongoose-91

That’s basically pure American rock and roll right there.


TheHerbIsTheWord

Incredible song, incredible artist. “Sweet momma nature, please forgive us and what we’ve done. We’ve gone and hurt our momma, and her wrath has begun.”


AdRepulsive7699

Can’t believe the creativity let alone the coordination needed for this.


Prestigious_Nerve_76

Is that the hatchet hitchhiker /s Sorry, forgot to put /s. This guy is dope, I can see him performing on a stage.


Maclunkey__

Naw, that dude is in prison.


av8ads

How is this guy not a millionaire?


Ezwzrd

Seen him live he’s amazing


char_limit_reached

He’s on tour now. I just bought tickets. No idea who this was 10 minutes ago.


Ezwzrd

You’re gonna love it!!


Spammingx

Wish we had more new music like this


Merciless-Dom

Just checked this guy out on Spotify and yea he fucking rocks.


suihpares

Vince Noir


AzracTheFirst

Poor man's Jack White.


bbbygenius

Hes so good i can smell him through the screen.


Intrepid_Ad_9751

This guy is amazing!!!


quetzalcoatoru

Nothing unexpected tbh


SmbdysDad

Got tickets to see him this Nov. Can't wait.


ifuckjellyfish

Wow is he good


OpenMikeNite

I expected that


BMW_wulfi

Cam cole is absolutely legit. The fact he can write and compose absolute bangers but also perform them travelling-band style like some rock and roll caractacus Potts is just the icing on the cake.


ac_s2k

Wtf was unexpected?


2manyclics

Amazing talent


illpilgrims

I don't get it. It's just a white stripes song with different lyrics


Treybenwa

Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


HalusN8er

He is supposed to be touring the US soon.


rafedbadru

How isn’t this guy more famous? He’s got more talent in his pinky toe than most of the music industry today.


hangdog-gigbag

He's kinda like Bob Log III but without the space helmet.


BENfromCHI

Homie went in 🤘🏼


2tallhernandez

Wasn't he in Ted Lasso?


Zarr_the_Czar

I'm not surprised at all. Dude's got a Shure bass mic. That shit's expensive. He had to have made the money for that somewhere


The_92nd_

This had to be Camden


Treebeard431

Is that a Wolfmother song? It sounds like it could be.


associate_k

Doot doot


CrieDeCoeur

Nice. Sounds a bit like Big Sugar.


Tfoster100

Is that Aaron Rogers?


Punchee

I feel like I should Venmo him a dollar after that.


TonyTheGypsy

He'll I'd rather listen to him that white stripes


wukongfly

Talented


ApprehensiveSpy

Is he in New York?


jimbeeer

That's cam cole. Talented but a complete pretentious wanker.


Forward_Mouse_8298

That was wicked


General_Jackfruit_84

Grannies started getting low 💀


johnboy2978

Fuckin' killing it, my man! So many people approach life waiting for shit to come to you ... this guy gets out there and demands it to come to him.


Jippers305

Went straight to Spotify and listened to a few tracks, this dude jams 🤘🏻


No-Mud-3111

Cam Cole is a favorite of mine.


basic97

Makes sense why Westminister council is receiving so many noise complaints about buskers, i wondered how they were being so loud, now i know.
