Robbie Mizzone: Thank you.
-
Tommy Mizzone: Thank you very much.
-
We're so excited to be here. It's such an honor for us.
-
Like he said, we're three brothers from New Jersey --
-
you know, the bluegrass capital of the world.
-
(Laughter)
-
We discovered bluegrass a few years ago,
-
and we fell in love with it. We hope you guys will too.
-
This next song is an original we wrote called "Timelapse,"
-
and it will probably live up to its name.

TM: Thank you very much.
-
RM: I'm just going to take a second to introduce the band.
-
On guitar is my 15-year-old brother Tommy.
-
(Applause)
-
On banjo is 10-year-old Jonny.
-
(Applause) He's also our brother.
-
And I'm Robbie, and I'm 14, and I play the fiddle.
-
(Applause)
-
As you can see, we decided to make it hard on ourselves,
-
and we chose to play three songs
-
in three different keys.
-
Yeah. I'm also going to explain, a lot of people want to know
-
where we got the name Sleepy Man Banjo Boys from.
-
So it started when Jonny was little,
-
and he first started the banjo, he would play on his back
-
with his eyes closed,
-
and we'd say it looked like he was sleeping.
-
So you can probably piece the rest together.
-
TM: We can't really figure out the reason for this.
-
It might have been that it weighs about a million pounds.
