Crystal Bowersox sings "Sweet Home Chicago"- Director's Cut

Crystal Bowersox, before she became an international star, is the lead vocal in this viral music video of "Sweet Home Chicago". This video, produced, directed and edited by Mark Schimmel was shot in one day and features eight street musician groups singing in eight different Chicago locations. The project, which contained over 48 audio tracks and multiple visual elements, took over 9 months to complete. This project was created for online use at chicagostreetmusicians.org and markschimmel.com.
"Chicagostreetmusicians.org wishes to thank Martin Guitars and Joe's on Weed Street for their sponsorship of the video launch." - CSM

Boundryrider, Thank you for your comment. Yes, it was challenging but a great deal of fun to put it all together. I allocated a massive amount of time to this project. I am very happy with the video... Mark

Someone should edit in brief segment of Lee D. in a Chicago paint store, staring blankly at a can of paint in the paint shaker machine. :)

She can sing anything. I can't wait to hear her first album - interesting since there seems a lot musical influences in her music. She's also the only girl standing in CSM.
