A local band playing outside the Chinatown Metro on Wednesday made a young girl’s day with their rendition of the classic “I Will Always Love You” amidst an adoring crowd.
A video of the band, called The Unknowns, playing outside of the Chinatown Metro has already gotten more than 300,000 views on Facebook. The 11-minute clip also shows lead singer Kenny Sway crooning tunes from The Weeknd and Justin Timberlake.
According to his website, Sway is a Maryland native “inspired by God, and a lot of inspiration from family and friends; there was also my elementary school crush.”
A WUSA story about The Unknowns from the summer reports that the band performs on a near-daily basis, sometimes more than once a day, at area Metro stations.
