Nine Year-Old Banjo Phenom Turns Viral Views into Billboard Album Chart Success
Bluegrass Brothers’ independently released album debuts at number eight on Billboard Bluegrass Album Chart.
Jonny Mizzone – Sleepy Man Banjo Boys
Lebanon Township, NJ (PRWEB) February 21, 2012
The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys’ independently released and distributed ‘America’s Music’ debuted at #8 on the Billboard Bluegrass Album chart this week. The album, a collection of songs spanning decades of Bluegrass favorites, has been propelled by strong digital sales, national radio spins, and a flourishing audience of over 5.5 million viewing their bedroom practice videos on YouTube. The trio’s first effort has also sold nearly 5,000 physical copies through its website since its release in September, all without the muscle of retail distribution.
Brothers Jonny (9), Robbie (13), and Tommy Mizzone (14) became a viral sensation last winter sparking a whirlwind year that would include performances on The Late Show with David Letterman, NBC’s Today Show, The Mike Huckabee Show, and the Grand Ole Opry. In August they were recognized by Martin Guitar as official Martin Guitar Ambassadors, a high honor from the largest producer of acoustic guitars in the United States.
The boys are humbled to be charting on Billboard alongside of some of the Bluegrass greats that inspired them, and are already hard at work on their next album including all-new original material tentatively set for a Summer release

Hi PaulI agree with evertything you say. Even as a nvoice player I try to learn and play with the essence of who I am and how I do things. I hear things in a different way to others so of course I’m going to play diferently too. My Cripple Creek may sound the same as other’s rendition, at least to non players, but to me it sounds like no one elses. Friends who have heard me play have told their friends who in turn want to hear me play. Despite the nerves I’m happy to play a little something and not one person has walked a way without a huge smile on their face. AND I’m not really even a half decent nvoice but I play with pure unadulterated joy everytime. That joy comes across more than capability and makes all the difference, to me and those wishing to hear. The banjo is to my mind the friendliest most cheerful instrument there is. I also love being part of the world wide banjo community.many thanks as everElizabeth
