In the past year, I've had dozens of people send me viral videos of musicians playing shovel guitars. It seems to be the current trend: attach three strings to a shovel and film a boogie with an iPhone. The public seems to think this is a new idea and it's definitely created a buzz.
I keep thinking to myself, "Ken Butler has been doing this for decades!" And it's more than just shovels. Ken will build instruments out of anything.
Great Big Story productions has just released a great 3 minute documentary on the Brooklyn-based musician and artist. We've put it below. After watching it, make sure to visit the official Ken Butler Website for more photos, videos and inspiration.
