'Office' Star Creed Bratton Flexes His Music Muscles at SXSW

Playing a short set during the SXSW fest, 'The Office' star Creed Bratton showed off his quality musical skills, though he probably won't quit his comedic day job.

During his set, Bratton wasn't shy about making the connection to his eponymous character on the American version of the TV show, saying, "Here's a karaoke song I sang in season four. I call it 'That's What She Said.'" Then it was all jokes aside, segueing seamlessly to a haunting song about a cattle drover, eating dust and hearing the plaintive voice of his wife, stolen by the Comanches, from his new album 'Bounce Back.'

Drawing from experience in iconic 1960s folk group the Grass Roots, Bratton and his band displayed his guitar skills, songwriting and vocals to approximately 110 listeners. And yes, he made a "That's what she said" joke, but he had plenty of his own spontaneous wisecracks, too.
