Update: BC Band busks for Ellen!

In the City of Kelowna we may have asked them to move to a busk stop but the boys from Behind Sapphire achieved their goal. They performed for Ellen Degeneres! They came up with the concept, made a video, shared it on YouTube, and in the end reaped the success of a well crafted plan. By the looks of the video it also seems they also have a new fan! A testament to anyone with enough vision and commitment to implement a unique creative endeavour. 

 
 
 
For their original video Castanet viewers doubled their views and helped propel them on their way to perform for Ellen. Behind Sapphire took some time to share a  "shout out" to the Castanet viewers for supporting their randomly brilliant ambitions in the music business.
 
 
 
Bonus: Ellen "video-bombs" (the distant cousin of the classic "photo bomb") the weather report at a regional TV show. Authentically Ellen!
