Kai sings “Wagon Wheel.” (YouTube)

Remember Kai, the brave hippie with who put his trust in the wrong racist Jesus while hitchhiking through California? You know … Kai? Dude who has brown hair? Headband? Carries a hatchet everywhere he goes? Yeah, okay, we’re talking about the same guy.

Well, it turns out Kai is a multi-talented man. Not only can he give a great interview, and hit people over the head with a small axe hidden in a knapsack, but he’s a musician as well. We know! Who would have thought Kai would have turned out to be such a fan of Sublime and Old Crow Medicine Show? Well, besides everyone.

And here he is playing an original(?) tune:

And inevitably, the Gregory Brothers remix:

And from his public page on Facebook, here is Kai singing “Seed” by Sublime:
