When Luke Burr and his friends walked into a bar in California, they most likely had no idea they were about to create a viral online moment that would leave hundreds of thousands of people with their jaws on the floor. There was a performer singing in the bar called Chris Merrell, and the astonishing moment happened when one of Luke’s friends asked Chris if Luke could join him on vocals for one song.
Presumably thinking that he had nothing to lose, Chris agreed, and Luke stepped up to the front of the performance to take the mic. The song he had chosen was ‘Tennessee Whiskey’, a country music classic that most recently has been made famous by music legend Chris Stapleton, so the pressure was on for him to deliver.
Any doubts that the audience may have had as to whether this random guy was going to be able to pull off the performance, meanwhile, immediately dissipated when Luke started singing. As soon as his first notes floated out across the room, several members of the audience could be seen visibly opening their mouths in shock, unable to believe that such angelic vocals were coming from a guy who had just happened to walk into the bar.
