Lindsey Stirling, Utah's own dance-and-dubstepping violinist rock star, has a new video with some stellar collaborators: Josh Groban and The Muppets.
The video for "Pure Imagination" (from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory") features Stirling playing violin accompaniment to Groban's vocals — while also finding a new rival in Miss Piggy, who was originally cast (by Kermit the Frog) in the video.
The song is a track on Groban's latest album, "Stages." The video was posted Thursday on Stirling's YouTube channel, and has already garnered nearly 300,000 viewers.
Stirling is on tour right now, and will perform back home in Utah on Friday, May 29, at Red Butte Garden. The show is sold out.
