Jeff Daniels is well known for his achievements in his acting career. Having been nominated for Golden Globes, Primetime Emmy Awards, and Tony Awards, and appearing in films such as Arachnophobia, Dumb and Dumber, and Speed, he has established an impressive and varied acting career. However, most aren’t aware that Jeff Daniels also dabbles in writing music. For many, the first time they became aware of Jeff’s hidden talent was when he appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Bringing out his acoustic guitar, Jeff introduced the song by describing it as a love song to his guitar, inspired by the times when “you’re sitting out on the porch with just your best friend, the guitar.” He then proceeded to sing an original song entitled ‘When My Fingers Find Your Strings’. Kelly Clarkson’s jaw dropped as she was blown away by the beauty of the song, asking the audience, “What is happening?” By the end of the heartfelt song, both Jeff and Kelly were moved to tears.
