BACKSTORY:
It ain't easy playing "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World. You gotta sing it like you mean it. Lay down a solid groove. And then the lead guitarist has to pull off that tricky guitar solo note for note.
Fortunately, OMF kids are tuff’ 💪 They aren't afraid of hard work. They set goals, practice their hearts' out and achieve the seemingly impossible.
And thanks to their hard work this, quite possibly, is the finest cover of The Middle in the WORLD!!!!!

ABOUT US:
This video was produced by The O'Keefe Music Foundation (OMF):
OMF is a non-profit music organization based in Ohio, USA, with a mission to provide high quality music education to any child in the world for FREE! Why? Because art gives voice to our dreams and live music performance is becoming a dying art. Since 2006, OMF has helped over 1000 students make countless music videos… with over 100 million combined YouTube views!
You can read more about us on our website, view other great music vids, and even apply to be an OMF rockstar (as long as you are 18 or under)! You can also buy some cool merch, or support us in recording more great songs and videos in the future.
Special Thanks Goes Out To:
Brian Lint for donating his Les Paul to OMF so it can be part of our instrument lending program!! Ryder, the rhythm guitarist in The Middle, got to borrow the Les Paul for 6 months as he learned the song. Definitely a dream come true for any 15 year old 👍
To all our donors for their continued support!
And to the OMF parents, students and crew!
