Wallingford, CT -- In the midst of a chaotic Tuesday night at the Wallingford Sonic there was harmony in stall number six. Starving artist Giorgio Gareira brought more than his appetite to the restaurant.
With guitar in hand and fast food on the mind, Giorgio decided to serenade his Sonic server and the video has gone viral on YouTube in short order. Now over half a million hits and counting, he says this just happened. He also says it is good for his new band Interstate Life.
"He's a wonderful young man with and incredible voice obviously. This completely blew me away, I've never seen anything like this before," said Sonic operations director Brad Bailey.
So now of course the idea is for giorgio to take this from the sonic stall to the big stage. Giorgio, who works at starbucks for now, hasn't missed a beat since his new found fame, but says he's still the same.
"I'm kinda still just Giorgio, people apparently like my name. that works because this is kind of a strange for a black guy to be named Giorgio, I'll admit that," said Giorgio Fareira. "I cant believe it. I didn't think it would go this far."
