Eleven Year Old Plays Jimi Hendrix.....Hey Joe!!

Conrad Oberg, self-taught visually impaired, guitar and piano player performs the Jimi Hendrix (Billy Roberts) classic "Hey Joe," with his band The One Elevens. Video was shot in February of 2006 at The Tangerine Festival in Jacksonville, Florida. Conrad was eleven years-old at the time.

Conrad Oberg was born three and a half months prematurely in the Summer of 1994. Weighing only one and a half pounds at birth, Conrad was left with no eyesight in his left eye and only 15% of the vision in his right. At age two, Conrad taught himself to play the piano, and again taught himself the guitar at age ten. Conrad has been performing solo live performances since he was four years-old, and has been fortunate enough to meet and/or perform with some of the greats of the entertainment industry. Conrad has been performing with his own band "The One Elevens" for the past two years, playing his own brand of blues,roots, and rock music.

WELL DONE FOR HAVING THE SKILL & THE BALLS FOR DOING THIS DUDE I AM SURE MANY MORE POELPLE WOULD LIKE TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS

[masterpc17]

Honestly conrad i have to say...simply amazing; and the fact that you taught yourself to play that well at how young you are is simply astonishing. I believe you will grow up to become one of the greats, perhaps even as great as jimi himself. I hope that you never stop playing music for as long as you live because it is not often that we receive great gifts such as you.
