Has to be the coolest woman ever. And What talent. I think I'm in love.

[kerkuk51991]

what are you talking about she is one of the yanni's band what youtube musician.....

she is one of best violin players ever..

[lowgskillet]

Had to come watch this again. You guys did such a superb job.

I'm telling you if I were in the room for that I might have cried. This is the most soulful and "close-to-Houser" S. Valley since the Mikey.

[orderofdamocles]

Shes a goddess! Im floored....

[anuvishva]

me too old boy

[TFCTalent]

Back for another listen, Ann Marie......

~~"Lead the way"

[YourfriendWoody]

Truly Amazing, thank you. I'm so happy she got to play with Panic last year!

[uetestina]

omg i love this. *_*

[slompappy]

thise jeans are just the right size! hubba hubba!!!

[usodstallion]

wait what the shit?! this was IMPROVED? Goddamit! I'm so jealous! I suck!!

[asesina80b]

I don't believe it was improvised. Otherwise, how would the guitarist know what chords and in what beat to play? Hm.

[DawgSong]

It's a song called "Surprise Valley" by the band Widespread Panic. Both of these artists had no doubt heard the tune. She has even sat in before with WSP in concert.

[WildcatChris]

Well i can't judge, but when i'm improvising on the piano with a violinist friend, you just kinda fit in with what they're playing. and if she's improvising to set chords (from "surprise valley" i presume) then i'd say she really is doing it on the spot, and very well at that :)

[schwagger1987]

have you never heard jam bands? all improv.. the music just hits a synergy level and somehow the band just knows where to take it.. i'm in a jam band myself.. maybe i just know how it works on the inside level.

[Discokid715]

Hey babe kick ass...

[lvbbdan]

Can't comment on technical proficiency but as a panic fan you can feel the love coming through those strings-Add her as a permanent member of the band and dan may have to quit his job.

[TOOLxoxo]

the spirit moves in all things!

[jhogg11]

You realize she's a professional right? She's not just some amateur YouTube musician.

[capnamerca]

@jhogg11 Naaaaawwwww ! ! ! ! You must be jokin' ! ! !

[gtq838]

lol, wow, epic win. keep praticing and you could be great some day.

[gtq838]

just for clarity, I'm not saying your not good, you are very good... anyways, I hope you get my original intent.

[jord008]

even with your rebuttal i must call you out on that...will be great "some day"!!! WTF shes great RIGHT NOW lol

[gtq838]

no, I'm afraid she isn't. She is very good, but i reserve the rank of great for somebody that is the very best. You only have a couple of greats per century.

like bach and mozart, they were great composers of their time. paganini on violin. Paco Delucia on guitar... these are greats...

Their name has lasted centuries but, she has alot of work ahead if she wants to be great.

[marianobilli]

Beautiful song!

[ThizzFaceOffNike]

i love you haha nice work.

[wharffratt]

play a bad ass version of Surprise Valley and throw it up on youtube, then BAM! next thing you know youre shredding with Panic! well done Ann Marie! quite the talent.

[TeamDipset1212]

Sick, you need me in there singing. well JB would do a great job too...but you know.

[Raezelblue]

they r so perfectly in tune with eachother.WONDERFUL!BEAUTIFUL!

[lvbbdan]

[mattde549]

She is awesome!

[phallusofdoom]

1:30 - 1:45 is absolute musical bliss

[coryT8]

The Spirit moves in ALL things!!

[jarhead21585]

beautiful...

[Makkitotosimew]

This is ridiculously good. Best musician I've seen on Youtube so far. And she's so pretty too -- I'm so jealous! :)

Does she have an album of her own stuff?

[rjb7266]

absolutely insane

[ong7578]

Ann beautiful sound n idea,i love it.

[slowgravity]

Violin- The saddest and happiest sounding instrument in one. Ann Marie, thanks for the gifts. Thanks.

[bobhuber]

I <3 you ann marie! Great job with the boys tonight at Rothbury!!!

[201nick420]

this is awesome, it would be nice to see you on a whole panic tour

[hcola123]

My wife said it was better than George

[irtimed]

[bencrossley36]

Fantastic playing!

I'd love to learn the violin!

[peeoompeeoom]

[teddy023]

[jwmcinti]

This is awesome, she sounds like houser on the volume peddal.

[mdr1013]

This is amazing. Raleigh was soooo good!

[jshizle55]

All those in Raleigh on Saturday were blessed. She's amazing and belonged on that stage, and I hope the invite her back sometime.see you in columbia tonight.

[timc820]

nice job in raleigh.  It saved the show..

[whitedove87]

no offense, but that show didn't need a whole lot of saving. I thought it was a pretty sick first set, but I do agree that there wasn't much going on with the Bust it to Arleen--the boys seemed only half into it, but that driving sandwhich is the best panic you can find.

[bfriedel]

Are you kidding me tim? Yes she rocked it out but you need to take a look at the set list again buddy.

[whitedove87]

I was about to cry at raleigh, it was one of the most unbelievable things I've ever experienced.  I kept telling my friends that I thought I was going to cry during Heaven.

[rxtakes]

Damn you tore Raleigh up

[tarheel2k7]

Raleigh was special. I enjoyed every second she was on stage. Can't wait to buy the show online.

[Marbleyard]

AMAZING show in Raleigh, everyone I have played it for LOVES it!

[marley91587]

absolutely insane in raleigh

[jjcale858]

Got the chills from the Walnut Creek show. For the first time in 6 years sounded like I heard Mikey, but coming thru a violin...thank you.

[hokie788]

from youtube to the big show, you were incredible way to go!

[bboltb]

Great Job last night in Raleigh. I hadnt been to a Panic show since 2000. You clearly possess a deep love and understanding of their music. Much more than Jimmy Herring.  The crowd(me included) was really in to it. I told my friends if they didnt offer you a permanent spot after the show then they were retarded. Your young , beautiful and their music flows through you so naturally I can only compare you to Hauser. Much love.

[kplmmj]

Houser....and there is no way she is going to get offered a spot in the band. Just be glad you saw it. It was special and thats how it should be.

[Mathidman]

Raleigh was INCREDIBLE, VERY IMPRESSED, the crowd was SOOOOO diggin it!

[mhilton913]

Great performance in Raleigh. I remember thinking that's the girl from youtube, and it was.

[redbullbundy]

raleigh was awsome good job

[jr834]

Great talent. AMAZING in Raleigh

[ejowens21]

[hoss67]

[DikBeater]

Ann Marie is so smoking hot. Is his guitar drop-tuned?

[thecheat594]

You should take a trip down to NJ and jam with me!

[Lynk000]

I love!, that great!

+.+

[gnomo2368]

I've been seen your 3 videos and imediatly I've loved them, you play wonderful, touching my feelings, I am begining with the violin, so you'll be my inspiration.

[CushionConvector]

Now do it shirtless.

[radtallbridgeical]

be sure to tell those words to your mother everytime she does something incredible

[nsg927]

you rocked with the hooters

[jduh1]

how do you make your violin sound so clean mines sounds hella rusty

[PartSexpert]

25 years of practice, and an $8,000.00 violin should do the trick.

[CarlosBlaine]

Omg, you're amazing.

[urnamesux]

Ann Marie, Will you marry me? I saw you the other night with Yonder Mountain String Band, and have never been so blown away. You are incredible and I can't wait to see you play again. Incredible.

[JohnSecadisima]

you are a horrible and inhumane person Ann Marie... now its like crack to me.... :(

this is like my 60th time watching this video

[clintzombie]

You should SO jam with the Spread on this one on stage. You have revolutionized Surprise Valley.

[bryanblackfoot]

i love that song

[TEfools]

GREAT job!!!

:)

[SquadbayNinja]

Come to think of it, I know she's been on tour with Steve Vai but I wouldn't call her his violinist. It's more like he's her guitarist, at least to me. She's amazing.

[Blight1]

Mikey would be very proud, thank you for such a wonderful treat.

[babylonxgr]

I haven't seen someone playing like that! And I thought Vanessa Mae was good!

[JohnSecadisima]

horribly addictive... i need to go to a rehab after this.. this is like the 30th time i lsteen to this song lol

[ComputerGeek3310]

if there a rehab thing for this kind of stuff?

(I hope so)

*replay*

[anteka72]

You are greaaaaaaaaat...Superb talent and amazing performance too :)

[nik1703]

amazing! I'd buy a CD.

[Frach438]

Bravo! You remind me of Jean Luc Ponty.

[imaginasian828]

she knows how to work that stick pretty good :)~

[thesteamroller]

are you kidding me where do you find a musician like this????

[rbr002]

love this. its seriously addicting. You are so amazingly talented!!!!!!!

[InCurrentStanding]

this is incredible. added to my favorites.

[biker1395]

amazing

[alyssac1122]

whoa.

[Natpepi]

Beautiful!!!I love violin!!

[tubbie0075]

Gosh! this is so much better than Bond and Vanessa Mae. If they are recording CDs, so should you!

[johnnycat65]

is ann marie beautiful to watch when she's playing her violin or what? she's so talented. she was playing keyboards, singing, playing violin...with steve vai live. she's an amazing and very talented person.

[peeoompeeoom]

I fell in love!!

I love the music

I love your music

[dudedevon]

[timothysteve]

I want a thirty track cd of this stuff on my desk by tomorrow

[BamaGetaway1013]

Violin Girl-"Will You Marry Me"?

[ygs81111]

i luv the music and U!!!

[TheBadAstronomer]

Wow, that's great! It sounds like it could easily fit in on a Firefly soundtrack. :-)

[gerryiam]

True actually :P Sounds just like some of the songs from that.

[Arrowatch]

Indeed.

[harrypworshiper]

*jumps up and down* I agree I agree!

[nothankyoumam]

Another great performance! Try it with your violin and an electric guitar to add a different balance to your sound. You might like it.

[FlatTheWorldIs]

I think she knows. She's Steve Vai's violinist... ;)

[nothankyoumam]

Didn't know that. Thanks. I'd love to hear her play accompanied by an electric rhythm guitar.

[vi0linfr3ak]

cool! congrats to your grammy moment

[mofish20]

Was happily surprised to see you on the grammy's last night! Congrats, I was hoping you'd bust out the Surprise Valley intro for your jam to win some votes. Keep up the good work:)

[aioria6969]

[mattpatt5]

I love this woman

[Slytook]
