U.S. Air Force is definitely famous for flying and serving the country, but a group of deployed airmen proved that they have also got a knack for other artistic endeavors.

Members of the AFCENT Band surprised their fellow airmen when they performed the jaw-dropping covers of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind, and Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing.

A video uploaded to YouTube by 379th Air Expeditionary Wing showed the band members playing various musical instruments and presenting the medley of those songs to celebrate the birthday of a fellow airman, A1C Amber Holt.

In the video, the soldiers were armed with musical instruments like violin and guitars. They gathered at the corner of a room and began playing their music, while a female soldier provided her vocals to impress the present audience.

The medley began with the Adele cover and the musical instruments that came into play were just a guitar, a fiddle, a single hand drum, and a shaker. Then the female vocalist put her amazing singing ability on display.

She hit the most difficult of notes with ease, reminding everyone the original version. Her fellow airman clapped to the beat and cheered her on

After the end of the song, she let another airman take over to sing the Jay-Z’s phenomenal rap in Empire State of Mind.
