Violin Monster
Lisa Barry

He's been seen playing his violin around the streets of Ann Arbor for years, and now the "Violin Monster" is going national appearing on "America's Got Talent" on NBC.

I spoke with him about the experience and he shares what he hopes to gain from the national exposure...

The Violin Monster even has a local beer named after him but travels around the country performing especially in the winter months (when he migrates!).
