THE CLEVERLYS are one of the most outrageous bands that we’ve ever come across. This “family” band comes from the remote part of the Ozark Mountains, near Cane Spur, Arkansas. Their twisted sense of humor and stellar musicianship rocked this year’s CMA Fest and their YouTube downloads have topped over a million. They have an incredible “backstory” and a timeless bluegrass sound. What makes the band unusual is their choice of material. They cover The Black Eyed Peas, The Bangles, and many other unexpected choices. thecleverlys.com
THE MOORE BROTHERS BAND are a trio of very young brothers from western North Carolina made up of 15 year old Jacob (mandolin), 19 year old Daniel (bass) and 10 year old Isaac on guitar. Don’t let their fyouth fool you; this trio means business. Together, they weave a musical tapestry that honors tradition and welcomes progress…melding a love of tone and harmonies with a fiery stage energy that wins over even the most jaded listeners, while keeping music lovers on the edge of their seat. The latest CD project is ‘Pick It Brother’. moorebrothersband.com
