Meet Evan Marsalli. Evan is a Tik-Tok’er who played the “Buddy Holly” riff every day for three years. The goal was to go viral and get Weezer‘s attention. His ultimate dream was to get a chance to jam with the band. The dream sorta happened back in February when Rivers Cuomo duetted with Evan on TikTok.

Fast Forward to last week Wednesday. Madison. Breese Stevens Field. Evan was able to check “Jam on stage with Weezer” off his bucket list.
After 990 videos and 1 duet @dietlitemusic finally took to the stage to play Buddy Holly last night in Madison, WI! https://t.co/0wt6xJu5in
