Downtown Spokane was absolutely electric during the Blessing In Disguise Music Fest! But while headliner Macklemore brought his signature high-energy performance to the stage, it was a local kid named Ben who walked away as the ultimate MVP.
During the performance of the massive hit anthem “Downtown,” Macklemore needed someone to step up. The iconic hook is normally sung by Eric Nally, but with Eric away, Macklemore pulled Ben—a kid from the crowd—straight onto the stage to cover the backing vocals.
With no warm-up and zero coaching, Ben was handed the microphone in front of thousands of screaming fans.
What happened next was pure live-music magic. Despite confidently reassuring everyone that he knew the lyrics, Ben proceeded to totally forget them once the track dropped!
But what he lacked in lyrical accuracy, he more than made up for in pure, unadulterated charisma. Ben transformed instantly into the ultimate hype man, dancing, bringing incredible energy, and cracking up both Macklemore and the entire audience.
