About The Cleverlys
The Cleverlys deliver a unique blend of world-class musicianship, hilarious comedy, and unforgettable entertainment. Born from humble beginnings in the Ozark Mountains, the group has grown into a nationally recognized act, headlining festivals, performing at performing arts centers across the country, and taking the stage at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
Led by the legendary Dr. Digger Cleverly, whose comedy has been described as “a hybrid of Homer and Jethro and The Office” by Rolling Stone Magazine, The Cleverlys create a show unlike anything else. As The New York Times put it: “If Dolly Parton, Earl Scruggs, and Spinal Tap spawned a litter of puppies, it would be The Cleverlys.”
The group features Dr. Digger, his son Ziggy Cleverly, and his nephews Steven Tyler Dale, Plug, and Sock Cleverly.
About The Blue Bridge Boys
Four teenagers from Owensboro, Kentucky, are making waves across the bluegrass scene with their youthful energy, impressive musicianship, and a passion for carrying the tradition of bluegrass into the next generation.
The Blue Bridge Boys, featuring Parker Malone (14), Levi Hausner (15), Cruse Edwards (15), and Noah Mason (16), take their name from Owensboro’s iconic Blue Bridge spanning the Ohio River. Together, the group blends traditional bluegrass with fresh, genre-crossing covers, creating a sound that connects longtime fans with a new generation of listeners.
The band’s journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic when Edwards and Mason started playing music together as friends, with Edwards on mandolin and Mason on fiddle. Malone joined the group a few years later, followed by Hausner in 2025, completing the lineup. While their musicianship continues to grow, the foundation of The Blue Bridge Boys remains the same: friendship, a love for music, and a shared commitment to keeping bluegrass alive.
