Google tells me that’s Matt Weddle from Obadiah Parker.

A favorite cover of mine is Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt doing NWA’s Straight Outta Compton

from the obadaiah parker site:

Hey Ya

In May of 2006, Mat’s solo performance was recorded by Micah Beverly at his Studio Open Mic at a local coffee shop. Brian Shaler, who was in the audience that night, took home a copy of the video recording and by the next week had posted on YouTube.com a clip of Mat performing the band’s cover of Outkast’s “Hey Ya”. Six weeks later the video caught fire on the internet and was being viewed up to 10,000 times a day. It is posted on several national websites as well as countless blogs and message boards. After two months the video had been viewed over 500,000 times on the YouTube site alone. The band has been featured on Spin.com, WGN News in Chicago as well as numerous radio stations and podcasts around the country. Many fans began finding their way to Obadiah Parker’s original material as well. The band’s four original tracks posted on their MySpace page have been listened to over 200,000 times and their self titled EP reached the top 30 on iTune’s folk chart within only one month. This explosion of internet exposure combined with consistent play on local radio stations and the band’s exhilarating live performances are catching the attention of a growing number of fans in the Phoenix area. Obadiah Parker is quickly becoming one of the most talked about up and coming bands in Arizona.
