GAY HUNKS OF THRONES
Hey Fiddle Fam! Are you excited about Game of Thrones season 7?! Well you should be because I just covered the theme song with my violin on top of a freezing cold snowy mountain wearing almost NOTHING at all!! If you think I’m crazy, you’re right. And in honor of one of TV’s greatest shows I also resurrected two of my all-time favorite characters. Will you be Team Snow or Team Drogo?! Let the Shirtless Violinist help you decide (Beware the White Walkers!!)

I have to tell you something: When I planned to shoot this music video in June I did NOT expect it to look and feel like December! But, as the saying goes, “Winter is coming…” so I guess I picked the right location (Mt Baker in Washington State, in case you were wondering!) Between freezing my nipples off and losing all feeling in my fingers. this video shoot officially goes down as the most excruciating one yet. All for the sake of art, I say!! (I’m just glad the feeling returned to my violin-fingers!)

If you are a Game of Thrones diehard super-fan, you will probably recognize the song I used at the beginning and end of this special arrangement. It’s called “Light of the Seven” and it played during the closing moments of season 6. The full version is some of the best music I’ve heard on the show, so I hope my little homage does it justice. Everything you hear in this video was made with my violin – evening the drum beats!

And what music video shoot would be complete without a little calamity? From frigid temperatures to harrowing drone crashes (RIP Mavic Pro!), this was one unforgettable day on the mountain. But you know what? It was totally worth it and I’d do it all over again!!

I almost considered calling this video “Gay Hunks of Thrones” until I discovered the name was already taken by an adult film! How about “House of Stark Naked”?? If you can think of a better name, leave it in the comments!

THANK YOU to my amazing crew for coming together and making this happen. You may have been wearing your shirts (and jackets!!), but I know you had my back!
