Can you imagine the feeling of being invited to sing a duet with one of your favorite singers? That’s what happened to Lucas Holliday. After a video went viral of him singing to customers, Lucas was asked to sing on stage with talented singer-songwriter, Maxwell.
The artist saw a video of Lucas singing one of his songs in a video that was posted on Facebook. It was posted by Sharee Nakia Robinson, a frequent customer of the Dollar General where Lucas works.
“OK folks, this is my area Dollar General and this is one of my favorite cashiers and he is the bomb,” she said in the video. “You gotta come and check him out down here.”
Lucas usually sings to his customers while he rings up their groceries. He is used to performing with his band called, “Tell Yo Mama”, so he was not at all shy about serenading his customers. Lucas says that he uses singing as a way to help him cope with feeling down or stressed out.
He really enjoys lifting up his customers’ spirits and that is exactly what he is doing in the shared video. Filling the store with such soulful sound, Lucas sings his own rendition of Maxwell’s 1996 hit single and it wowed everyone in the store.
