Sleepy Man Banjo Boys: Bluegrass virtuosity from … New Jersey?
All under the age of 16, brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are from New Jersey, a US state that’s better known for the rock of Bruce Springsteen than the bluegrass of Earl Scruggs. Nonetheless, the siblings began performing bluegrass covers, as well as their own compositions, at a young age. Here, they play three dazzling songs in three different keys, passing the lead back and forth from fiddle to banjo to guitar. What did you think of these banjo boys?

Great and so much talent in these young performers. I, as a child, was “forced” to listen to Blue Grass music (lol) and these kids are wonderful. Yes, I was a little surprised being from New Jersey, but talent all around us. Just take the time to listen! Fantastic!

WOW, I live in Tennessee and I know good bluegrass AND you guys play GOOD bluegrass. Congratulations for being so popular. Have you thought about Nashville and maybe playing Grand Old Opry? Now is when you should do it if your mom and dad are on board. Your young age makes your act unusual. If you wait too long, you will be just another bluegrass group. Good luck to each of you! Charlie

I’m not so surprised they come from Jersey (talent can be a blessing to anyone, anywhere) as I am at how good a performance they present at an age when most performers would be learning the basics…and writing their own music as well! This group is awesome!
