Waitress Steals the Show Singing Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” With Street Guitarist Dovydas

Warm lights, a busy Florida evening, and one classic song turning strangers into a crowd that feels like family. That is the kind of moment this live performance captures, and it is the kind of clip people watch once, then replay with a smile.

At the center of it all is Dovydas Maščinskas, better known as Døvydasa Lithuanian-born singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and content creator. Before moving to the U.S. in 2012, he built a strong music career in Lithuania, appearing on national TV shows like Lithuania’s Got Talent and headlining major festivals across Lithuania and Poland. In 2016, his band reached the semifinals of the International Blues Challenge, a first for a Lithuanian-born musician.

But on this night at St. Armands Circle, all of that takes a back seat to the simple magic of his street show. Relaxed and quick with a joke, he sets up his electric guitar, looper, and drum pad, turning a patch of sidewalk into a full-band experience. People wander by, hear something they like, and a crowd slowly forms, drawn in by his skill, humor, and easy connection with strangers.

The video begins with him greeting people at the Circle, joking that his friends call him the same name, instantly loosening up the crowd. Then he spots a man wearing a guitar-themed t-shirt and starts a genuine conversation. The man shares he owns five guitars and played in a high-school band back in 1968 called The Unknowns, a name he laughs about now.

He speaks with quiet pride, mentioning he still plays and takes lessons, and that he’s “stuck in the 70s” musically. The crowd reacts, it’s a decade everyone here recognizes. He talks about covering The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and hints he likes something with a bit more edge these days.

It feels like two guitarists from different generations bonding over the music they love.

Then comes the question that changes the direction of the whole moment:

“Is Fleetwood Mac the 70s?”

Absolutely. The man lights up and says he loves them.
And that single answer becomes the spark for what’s about to unfold.

Ella, the Waitress Who Was Not Expecting This

This is where the video starts to feel special. Ella is not there as a booked singer. She is there as a waitress, working at Vanetsia, just across from where Dovydas is playing.

When she steps up, she looks both excited and nervous. She checks if he is playing the song in the original key. He is pretty sure he is, but he does not make a big deal out of it.

She jokes about needing her phone. It sounds like she is thinking of pulling up the lyrics. In the end, she simply hangs out near the mic and chooses to go for it. She is honest about being scared, and that honesty makes the whole thing even more real.

Someone in the crowd asks her name, and she says she is Ella. Someone else in the mix is named Steve. He jokes that his name is actually Steve Miller. That triggers laughter as people think of the famous Steve Miller, and a kid nearby is told to look up who Steve Miller is.

Now the stage is set. A street guitarist, a man in a guitar shirt who loves 70s rock, a waitress from a nearby restaurant, a playful “Steve Miller” in the audience, and one classic Fleetwood Mac song.

Halfway through, when the song reaches the point for a guitar solo, Ella steps back a bit and lets Dovydas take over. He launches into a smooth solo, and she hypes him up, telling the crowd to give it up for him.

The audience claps and cheers as he plays, turning the moment into a true shared performance. It is not just about her or him. It is about both of them and everyone standing around.

When the solo ends, Ella comes back in with more confidence. Her timing is tight, and she rides the groove that has already built up. Those who knew the song before can feel the familiar arc, but even those who did not know it can enjoy the sound.

Near the end, as she repeats the final lines, the crowd claps along and a small group near the front cheers louder. By the time she finishes, people are ready to clap before the last note even rings out.

As the song ends, the square fills with applause. Someone in the crowd calls out her name in support. Dovydas proudly tells everyone that she is a waitress at Vanetsia and asks them to give it up for her.

There is a running joke about her now getting tips from “Steve Miller” after that performance. It is all light and fun, but behind it is real respect. She did something brave, and everyone saw it.

Steve, the man with the guitar shirt and the love of 70s music, steps forward and offers praise. He tells them to keep playing, keep rocking, and he clearly means it. This is his music era, his song style, and he just watched a younger generation carry it well.

Tips start to go into the bucket. There is another thank you for Steve. The energy slowly drops back into a normal street scene, but there is a glow left over from what just happened.

At the end, as the video wraps up, Dovydas begins to pack up a bit, joking that they are done here for that moment. The night at St. Armands Circle moves on, but that one performance is now a permanent time capsule online.

This performance of “Dreams” with Ella and the joking “Steve Miller” might look like a small street show at first, but it carries a lot within it. People from different paths meet for a few minutes, share a song, and walk away with a story they will tell later.

The older guitarist gets to hear music from his favorite decade played live again. Ella gets to surprise herself and a whole crowd by leaving the floor of Vanetsia for the small stage on the sidewalk. Dovydas gets to connect people through a song he loves to play.

For viewers watching from home, it is a reminder that great music moments do not only live in big arenas. They happen in circles, side streets, and casual places where someone is bold enough to set up an amp and ask a stranger if they want to sing.

Anyone who finishes the video and feels that soft buzz of joy can carry it into their day. They can watch more performances, support the artist, or simply keep their eyes open the next time they hear a guitar on a corner. That simple act of stopping to listen might lead to the next unforgettable moment.
