Episode 157: On Stage Now – Skar

Welcome to the first monthly special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a musician with a playlist of their covers, remixes, and inspired tracks. This month for January, we are featuring Martin Skar Berger, a musician who goes by Skar. He was first featured on Episode 120, for National Poker Day, for his cover of “That’s the Way It Is”, from Red Dead Redemption 2. Since 2014, Skar has been posted videos of his metal guitar covers of video game music. Along the way, he has collaborated with several artists, including Dan Vasc and Kristin Starkey. He later broadened his works to cover music from anime, movies, and popular music. Last month in December, Skar celebrated 10 years of YT. Sit tight and hold on as we prepare to hear the shredding sounds of Skar…   Skar Productions [Martin Skar Berger] (Personal Website, YT, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, X, Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, Patreon)     “Dragon Age Inquisition – Rise” – [Dragon Age Inquisition] – composed by Trevor Morris “Dragon Age Inquisition – Nightingale’s Eyes” – [Dragon Age Inquisition] – composed by Trevor Morris “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – The Wolven Storm/Pricilla’s Song” – [The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt] – composed by Marcin Przybylowicx “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dragonborn” – [The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim] – composed by Jeremy Soule “Daughter of the Sea” – [World of Warcraft] – composed by Jason Hayes “The Witcher – Toss a Coin To Your Witcher” – [The Witcher] – composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli “Take Me Home, Country Roads” – [Fallout 76] – composed by John Denver “Devil May Cry 5 – Bury the Light (ft.
