Your favorite musician may pack stadiums, but we bet they can’t perform with a dog sitting on their guitar like this busker can! New Orleans singer Maurice McCray astounded audiences by getting his adorable pup to participate in his shows. He recently shared an incredible video of his sweet dog sitting quietly atop his guitar while he covered Tim McGraw’s Shotgun Rider. What a well-behaved pooch!

In the clip, the busker was singing his heart out and strumming his guitar while his dog was perched on the instrument the entire time. Although the extra weight must have made it a little more difficult to play, Maurice didn’t miss a beat. His cover of the country song was impeccable!
Throughout his musical career, Maurice McCray has become known for a couple of things. First and foremost, he’s garnered a reputation as a fantastic singer and guitarist. Second, many also recognize him as the busker who brings his dogs on stage with him!
Maurice has performed with more than one four-legged friend.
That’s right; we said dogs, plural. Maurice has trained more than one of his pooches to sit on top of his guitar as he plays! There are multiple videos on his Instagram page showing a couple of different pups hanging out with the musician during his performances. In one particularly impressive clip, the busker played the trombone while holding a guitar with a small dog sitting on top!
“Yes I’ve trained multiple dogs to relax on my guitar lol,” wrote the singer in his caption.
These videos aren’t Maurice McCray’s only claims to fame. Whiskey Riff tells us that this artist has also appeared on American Idol. After that, he was invited to join country star Morgan Wallen on stage in 2022.
We hope this busker continues to share his talents (and his adorable dogs) with the world!
