It's even better live. 💙

[@TheHitPoints]

🙏Thank you!! 🙏

[@otakon17]

You guys are criminally underviewed.

[@BenEller]

otakon17 truth

[@barroldtrumboma9162]

It’s like a mixture of western swing and bluegrass

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

The banjo player quoted the Super Mario Brothers "underworld" theme at the end of his solo. (ie, world 1-2). Holy moses, I've listened to this 100 times and just now caught that. 1:27

[@pineapplehill5291]

Kicking myself for taking 4 years to discover this. Insane, amazing, perfect.

[@blarkflannigan2361]

See the nostalgia is just kicking now

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

This is my favorite SNES theme for pure nostalgia and this is by far the best cover I've heard of it. Gods.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I was listening to the original, and when the bongos (?) started on the second run through I thought, "Hey, Miyamoto is a banjo player, there's got to be a bluegrass version". Second hit to "bluegrass Mario" was this. Fantastic.

[@spocktacular1701e]

I love the surprise ending. It's the short tune played after beating the bosses in Super Mario Bros. 2!

[@EliBishopMusic]

Ah you caught it! Thanks for listening. 🙂

[@TheRezne]

The Banjo lick at 1:05 is exquisite... my GOD look at him GO

[@MakuArein]

KZbin algorithm did this channel dirty. Top notch audio and video that captures amazing talent but only has 48k views. And sadly its been 3 years since their last upload.

[@giacomosavardi2131]

this should have 100M views - fantastic!

[@henryemrich7209]

I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite thing!

[@Titosky123123]

Gonna tell my kids this is Mumford & Sons. Sounds grate mates!

[@wesleyjones1170]

I heard this on the radio today, and was pleasantly surprised WDVX hosted this! Glad I could find the source here on youtube

[@brianfuller2241]

Great musicians. So much fun. As a flatpicker I feel free to say that Jake is among the best in the business. Top five for sure.

[@TheHitPoints]

We feel the same way about Jake, he's a musical monster!

[@CRGuitarr]

One of my followers linked me here. You guys absolutely crushed this one! Wow!

[@brianarsuaga5008]

That little finale was gorgeous.

[@Psilly-Spirit]

Maaaan I’m just sitting here, a lil stoned, and you present us with this madness. It’s so damn jazzy, I love it. So much good weird stuff. The little slowdown thing on the banjo at 1:29 just feels so Nintendo for some reason.

[@curtistreg4057]

Holy shit that banjo solo was crazy. Every solo was but I’m learning banjo right now and I’ve never seen someone play a banjo like that yet

[@koteynikoi-kotei9301]

So awesome!

[@TheElcollin]

banjo scales on POINT

[@yvettezamora4245]

Jenika recommended this video. I love it. My 11 year old son is a huge Mario fan and he gives you guys a 10 out of 10!💕

[@jared_miclea]

Beautiful! 99% SMW and 1% SMB2 lol!

[@EliBishopMusic]

Took 4 years for someone to catch our SMB2 ending! Thanks for listening!

[@Exile-bf8zo]

I found this via The A.V. Club. Then, I listened to the whole album and the song from Kirby's Epic Yarn. It seems like a lot of thought goes into selecting songs that work well with the style. Very much appreciated! I've subscribed to this channel to watch future releases.

[@personbear]

Man... remember the A.V. Club?

[@ZachGrahamVGPiano]

Huh, I was definitely expecting an April Fools joke, but I was pleasantly surprised. That was a very fun cover!

[@FrankEnanoza]

Nice!

[@scottbotmilton]

incredible you guys smashed it

[@andreweaton5598]

Yall HAVE to get on Spotify!

[@ThemWhackedBlues]

So awesome!! The banjo(?) solo gave me life!

[@yacno]

This is just plain awesome. Cheers from Brazil.

[@microwah]

Awesome cover! Well played guys!

[@pattyoneill91]

Omg this is fucking amazing. All i did was watch deliverance and wondered if someone did banjo covers of mario world

[@robertpehlman5195]

This is some damn good musicianship, clever solos, and you sound great.

[@leonardofalcaodemattos]

[@boopsdoops]

[@pjcollects]

This song was made for a cover by you guys! Love it!

[@Shaun.is.typing]

[@Shorty15c4007]

Bruh, I started this video thinking, "ah another lame meme video". Now I've downloaded most of this guy's stuff on Spotify. Hurry up with this release. I grew up with this music in my Wipeout HD college days 😊

[@surfracecar4020]

I always imagined this tune in a bluegrass band. Thanks for bringing this into the universe. I'm so happy I found you kids. You're so brilliantly good!!!1!

[@josephkyle6271]

Soooo did ANYONE notice that dude on the banjo did the Mario bros underground theme in his solo!?!?!?!

[@chiefyookero]

how'd you get two Seth Rogans in the same band?

[@evanisthegoat]

holy crap

[@Kuesa]

Someone's been listening to Bela Fleck ;)

[@TypingHazard]

Everyone would if they knew what's good for 'em

[@MarioGlitchy9]

Banjo Kazooie is gonna be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

[@nssteampunk4865]

Could you do Choco Mountain from Mario Kart DS and Warios Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii?

[@sbeve4841]

The one thing that would make this better is yoshi bongos

[@unoclay]

two seth rogans. lols. great cover--great musicianship.

[@mdbattlefrog1913]

How the fuck is this under 50K

[@Keithustus]

Can we please get a Koji Kondo react video????

[@jeebsmagee]

Man, Guy Fieri can really rip it up on banjo

[@DaeguDown]

Those licks can take me to Flavor Town!

[@EthanPlaysBanjo]

What kind of banjo is that?? It looks like it has 5 full length strings and no drone string.

[@streetoctane1878]

Nechville Banjo.

[@steftrando]

The only thing they are missing is snare drum brushes
