Over one thousand people commented on this short subway clip. That is how powerful the moment was when Sydnie Christmas performed. She had a big show at Sony Hall that night, but first, she wanted to do the “most New York thing” possible. She stepped onto a busy subway platform for an impromptu acoustic set. This was her incredibly bold way to warm up for her major gig.
This performance of “My Way” was truly special because of where it happened. The quiet, deep emotion of the classic song felt huge next to the noise of the rushing trains. With just Katie Martucci’s guitar, Sydnie showed a tremendous amount of courage. She sang a powerful song, “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, in an unexpected, public place.
